An absolute beast of a plant. Growers describe it as growing &#8220;like a tree,&#8221; requiring heavy-duty stakes and cages to prevent the plant from collapsing under its own weight.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf45 <strong>Fruit Characteristics:<\/strong> Bright red, classic beefsteaks. They are massive, easily reaching 2.2 lbs (1 kg). In competition, this variety has produced single fruits weighing over 6.2 lbs (2.8 kg)!<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc45 <strong>Flavor &amp; Texture:<\/strong> Dense, incredibly meaty, and very aromatic with a low seed count. A classic, rich old-fashioned tomato flavor.<\/li>\n<li>\u23f3 <strong>Yield &amp; Maturity:<\/strong> A late-season variety. Yields are described as &#8220;off the charts,&#8221; but because it takes so long to ripen, growers in shorter climates may need a greenhouse to see its full potential.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"add-review-cta\" style=\"margin: 20px 0; padding: 15px; background: #f9f9f9; border-left: 4px solid #4CAF50; border-radius: 4px;\"><strong>\ud83c\udf45 Grown this giant variety?<\/strong> <a href=\"#wpdcom\">Click here to add your own photos and review below!<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">A<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Angelina <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (11,132 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>A massively powerful plant, grows like a tree with unbelievable yields.<\/p>\n<p>The fruits are red, weighing up to 2.2 lbs (1 kg) and more.
