Gold Medal Beefsteak Tomato

Gold Medal produces flattened, slightly ribbed beefsteak tomatoes of around 300-800 grams each. Beautiful, bi-colored, golden-yellow fruits with golden orange-red bottom end. Golden flesh with a pink blush. Juicy, excellent very sweet tomato flavor. From Ben Quisenberry, Ohio, who described it in his 1976 catalog: “The sweetest tomato you ever tasted”. 2008 Winner of the Seed Savers Exchange Tomato Tasting. Around 80-90D. 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.
