Owens Purple Beefsteak Tomato

Owens Purple produces round-ish, slightly flattened, and slightly ribbed beefsteak tomatoes of around 200-400 grams each. Dark purple fruits with darker necks. Dark red, firm, and juicy flesh. Sweet, mild tomato flavor with a smoky touch. From The USA. Cross between 'Paul Robeson' and 'Mortgage Lifter' made by Jinnie Farrell. Indeterminate. 75-80D. 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.
