Bush Beefsteak is a classic great tomato.
It is the kind of tomato you remember eating as a kid at backyard barbeques. It is just a perfect, juicy, great-tasting tomato. The seeds we are offering are a very good strain of this variety. Sometimes the seeds on offer for this variety are not the real deal, this is the real deal. Our original seedstock came from long time seed saver Mandy Botincan of the now closed Mandy’s Greenhouse in Tyndall, Manitoba.
Bush Beefsteak is a Canadian bred tomato that is well suited for short growing areas. It was developed in Manitoba at the Morden Research and Development Centre in the 1950s. It is a cross of Marglobe x Bounty. If you have grown the tomato ‘Manitoba’, try this one, it is from the same Canadian breeding program, but I believe Bush Beefsteak was developed after the tomato ‘Manitoba’.
Bush Beefsteak grows to about 2 feet tall. It produces medium size round/beefsteak tomatoes that can be used anywhere tomatoes are needed!
If you like Bush Beefsteak, try Harvestvee, a high lycopene/high crimson bush beefsteak tomato that we also love. You can check out Harvestvee HERE.
How to Plant: Start seeds indoors 6 weeks before the last frost. Plant seed 5mm (¼ inch) deep. Transplant after the danger of frost has passed/later spring.
