Solanum lycopersicum 'Big Beef'

Annual fruit (indeterminate hybrid tomato)

Solanaceae

An award-winning hybrid variety renowned for its massive, round, deep red fruits, often weighing between 300 and 500g. Its flesh is dense, juicy, and flavorful, with a beautiful balance of sweetness and acidity—perfect for sandwiches, burgers, sauces, and hearty salads. Highly resistant to diseases (fusarium, verticillium, nematodes, etc.), it is also ultra-productive and reliable. An indeterminate type, it requires good staking to support its large fruits.
