Tomato Seeds - Indeterminate - Great White Beefsteak
Description
The Great White Tomato is an indeterminate heirloom prized for its impressive size, creamy ivory color, and delicate, fruity sweetness. Maturing in about 80–85 days, this variety produces large, 1–2 pound beefsteaks with pale yellow-white skin that blushes slightly pink on the blossom end when fully ripe.
Fruits are meaty, tender, and low-acid, with a mild yet complex flavor often described as sweet and tropical, carrying subtle hints of melon and pineapple. The creamy flesh and thin skin make it ideal for slicing, fresh eating, and pairing with herbs, seafood, or soft cheeses for elegant summer dishes.
Plants are vigorous and productive, typically reaching 6–8 feet tall and requiring sturdy staking to support their heavy, juicy fruits. They thrive in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil, performing best with steady watering and mulching to maintain consistent moisture levels.
Believed to have originated in the United States during the early 20th century, the Great White Beefsteak remains one of the most beloved light-colored heirlooms. Its striking appearance, gentle flavor, and generous yields make it both a showpiece and a table favorite—proof that a tomato need not be red to be remarkable.
