Chris Ukrainian Beefsteak Tomato

Chris Ukrainian produces mid-sized beefsteak tomatoes of around 250-500grams each. The fruits in the picture are around 450 grams. Flattened and ribbed fruits with plump shoulders. Beautiful pink color and pink flesh. Heirloom from the Ukraine. The variety was obtained by Carolyn Homme from a Ukrainian immigrant, Chris (Krzystos Syzymanski). 80-85D. Indeterminate. 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.
