1884 Beefsteak Tomato

1884 produces large, oblate, ribbed beefsteak tomatoes of around 300-600 grams each, and can also give larger fruits. Dark-pink fruits with a darker neck. Traditional, juicy, sweet tomato flavor. Indeterminate. Old variety from Virginia, USA. 80D. 10seeds/pack

Indeterminate tomato varieties will keep on growing the whole summer until the autumn frost. They will keep flowering and setting fruit. The sucker doesn't have to be pruned, but if not the plant will grow extremely large. 1-3 suckers could be spared along the main stem and the rest could be pruned. If not pruned at all the plant might tend to put energy into growing large instead of producing tomatoes on the main stem and the selected suckers. All indeterminate varieties could be staked or supported to avoid fruits laying on the ground.
