'Abraham Lincoln' produces consistently large crops of extra meaty tomatoes. With its dark red fruit and bronzy-green foliage, it stands out among heirloom tomatoes with its 8-ounce fruits and rich, summery tomato flavor. 'Mortgage Lifter' is a big, meaty fruit with few seeds and a mildly smooth flavor. Its low acid flavor and big pink fruit weighing 16 to 24-ounces each make this variety an all-time favorite. It is also known for its tale of the gardener who created the variety in the 1930s and paid off his mortgage by selling plants one by one! 'Cherokee Purple' is a masterpiece of both color and taste! This heirloom sets giant beefsteak tomatoes, up to 16-ounces each, in violet-purple hues. Juiciness and a tangy flavor are well-known attributes of this heavy producer. These tomatoes perform well in containers or raised beds if you are limited on space. With some of these reaching nearly 6-feet tall, we suggest staking the plants or letting them grow in a tomato cage. Disease resistant and easy to care for, these tomato plants are a must-have addition to your summer vegetable garden! For best results, we recommend planting in a location that receives at least 6 hours of direct sun per day. Tomatoes require plenty of water, fertilizer and support for success! To produce larger fruit, prune by cutting out suckers (auxillary shoots between the stems and the leaves). |
