Hi everyone,
I’m working on a new tomato line planned for the 2026 season and wanted to share it with fellow tomato lovers here.
This variety is being selected for:
• Large beefsteak-style fruits
• Strong plant vigor
• Good tolerance to heat and common tomato stress
• Focus on flavor, not just size
We’re still in the evaluation stage, but early plants are showing very promising fruit set and shape.
I’m especially interested in hearing what growers here value most in a beefsteak tomato:
👉 Flavor vs size
👉 Disease tolerance
👉 Greenhouse vs open field performance
If anyone is interested in trialing or sharing feedback, I’d love to learn from your experience.
Always happy to talk tomatoes

I grow a lot of tomatoes every summer and I would say, obviously flavour is the number one factor, but ive never really had any issues with that growing my own tomatoes. Size isn’t as important to me as disease resistance. We’ve had some pretty weird and rainy summers lately, and ive had a fair bit of blight and/or septoria that never used to be a problem.
I value in this order: flavor/productivity/vigor and disease resistance.
I’d be happy to try some and give feedback for how it handles southeast heat!
