\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Napa Giant<\/strong> is an American heirloom originating from California’s Napa Valley<\/strong>. An indeterminate<\/strong>, mid-season<\/strong> beefsteak, it is renowned for throwing giant, broad, oblate pink fruits capable of topping 2.2 lbs (1 kg). While capable of stellar size and rich old-fashioned flavor when pruned, outdoor trials show it can drop blossoms in extreme conditions, demanding steady care to unlock its full potential.

Mid-season, tall indeterminate vine. Fruits are broad, flattened-round pink beefsteaks, very meaty, delicious, and weighing up to 2.2 lbs (1 kg) and even larger. Very uniform and fragrant.<\/p>\n

Zero disease issues all season long. I trained it to a single stem, but I reckon it could handle two leaders easily.<\/p>\n

Outdoors in open ground, it behaved more like a semi-determinate. Oblate, pink. Kept it to a single leader.<\/p>\n

Here’s the weird part: each plant set exactly one single tomato, across all 5 plants in the row! The fruits ran about 10.5 oz (300 g) each. Saved seed from them anyway. Gonna give it another run just to see, maybe under different summer weather it’ll perform better.<\/p>\n

Hey there, did you ever manage to get a better crop out of Napa Giant? My seedlings of it were hands down the strongest, most vigorous in the entire flat. Now you’ve got me wondering what to expect!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
