Chinook Beefsteak Tomato

Chinook produces beautifully heart-shaped, purple fruits around 250grams each. Meaty and firm fruits with few seeds. Excellent full tomato flavor. Wispy regular leaf. Indeterminate. This variety is bred by Karen Olivier (Northern Gardener) of Canada. The siblings of Chinook are Cowboy and One Trick Pony. Around 80D. 5seeds/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.
