Beefsteak Heirloom Tomato
Persimmon
The strong, indeterminate vines of this heirloom bear huge, beefsteak-type, slicing tomatoes that ripen toward the end of summer. The lovely, peachy-orange colors deepen from its softly dented, light green shoulders to the bottom of its plump, globe-shaped fruit.
