Overview
Goliath is an early hybrid beefsteak with deeply oblate, dark bright-red fruit of 10 to 15 ounces and three to four inches across, notable for high sugar content. The plants are indeterminate but bushy in habit, which makes them workable in a large container with a stake. A choice for gardeners who want big slicers early without a sprawling vine.
