George's Greek Beefsteak Tomato

George's Greek produces mid-sized beefsteak tomatoes of around 200-500grams each. Slightly flattened and ribbed fruits in a shiny red color. Meaty and juicy flesh with a traditional, sweet tomato flavor. George’s Greek is front left in the picture. The other varieties in the picture are ‘Big Italian Plum’, ‘Arkashin’, and Jantar (yellow). George (of Greek descent), in Vancouver, British Columbia, grew the variety for several years. Seeds were later obtained by his daughter Tina Exarchoulis. Was featured in the Seed Savers Yearbook, 2007. 80D. Dense foliage. 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.
