  • Posted by farmerdill (Augusta Georgia - Zone 8a) on Jul 11, 2023 1:55 PM concerning plant:
    Big Beef with added disease resistance. It has good resistance to Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus, which is a major problem in my area. Plant is vigorous, but spindly; sets fruits more sparsely than the big determinate Saybrook, which I am growing as a control. Round red fruits are smaller and initial set is low. Fruits are hard and rather bland, approach the typical grocery store tomato. Not my favorite by any means, but it has fended off TSWV.
