I bought one beef master plant at a green house . . . about a 1 inch stalk, 18 inches tall and with 1 set of blooms already formed. Planted late April and had the first tomato before July 4. In another 2 weeks we had many more and could begin to share with family and finally with friends as well. By mid-July my husband had to BUILD a cage with wood 8 ft tall and c-clamped to our fence. It outgrew that and we began tying it to fences in other areas of the yard. (One could get strangled going through the string maze!) The plant took about a 2 week respite and then began producing prolifically again. The vine finally grew back to the ground. Last Tuesday (October 26 because frost was threatening) we finally took it down. We filled 3 packed 32 gallon garbage cans with the vine and harvested the last 50 lbs . . . both red and green. I think we must have had a crop of at least 150 lbs and how many actual tomatoes, who knows. I've made green tomato relish and will now try my hand at frying some along with ripening the green ones. I'm sure that I bored my friends bragging over this plant. The best part is that we live on a very small lot with only one choice to put a plant that needs a lot of sun. The real topper is that it never received any fertilizer all summer long.

If you're usually averse to F1 hybrids, but would like to maybe have just ONE reliable hybrid beefsteak as a backup in case your OP varieties meet disaster, then this is the hybrid beefsteak to get.

We grew Beefmaster tomatoes a couple years ago. They are large and tasty. We found them slightly larger than Beafsteak. They make great sauce. Some were a pound! We suggest you to grow it if you want only one tomato breed!

I have been growing them from seed for years. Best overall large tomato you can get. The whole tomato turns red and does not have green streaks in it.

A neighbor gave me small plant which I planted in front flower bed. I didn't have a cage so was constantly tying it to the gas meter and downspout. Got the best tomatoes ever and so many from just one plant. I don't think I got a 2 pounder but they were plenty big and delicious. I pulled 30 green ones off right before the first frost. Hoping they will turn. I'm getting more for the next season. Yum!

Tried my first beefmaster 2 years ago..bought one plant and put it in a flower bed. A little mircale grow and very little care. This plant grew till it looked like three plants. I kept a tally of how many tomatoes came from it. I ended up with 126 beautiful red tomatoes..nice and juicy and just enough tartness. perfect for sandwiches and salads. Needless to say I had plenty to share. This year I bought a couple. they're doing very well..not like that one, but I got my first tomato July 19th. Great tomato. Will get them again next year hopefully.

The taste is good and size varied from 6 oz to the claimed 2 lbs. They were slow to ripen last year but the season was not amazing. I am trying again this year
