The plant grows upright but continues producing along an indeterminate vine. The pink, ribbed beefsteaks are suited to slicing and fresh meals. ## Growing conditions Choose a sunny, well-drained bed with moist, loamy, slightly acidic soil. PanAmerican recommends in-ground growing and reports the listed mature range; NC State advises steady watering and avoiding excess nitrogen, which can encourage foliage at the expense of fruit. ## Maintenance Plant after frost danger has passed and provide a cage, stake, or trellis before the vine becomes heavy. Water deeply and evenly during fruit development, keep foliage as dry as practical, and harvest ripe tomatoes as they develop.
