The Tomato Beefmaster, 'Lycopersicon lycopersicum', is one of the largest beefsteak types. The meaty tomatoes are big enough to overlap burgers and sanwiches. Beefmasters are nearly seedless and they have the fine beefsteak flavor. They shine as a slicer and the good-flavored fruit is tolerant of cracking and peeling. Some may weigh up to 2 pounds. In warm winter/hot summer areas, tomatoes can be planted in early fall for winter harvest. Soak to depth of 6 to 10 inches when watering. They need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day.
