Overview
Grandma's Pick is an F1 beefsteak with deeply lobed, deep crimson fruit of 8 to 12 ounces, the kind of ribbed tomato that looks like an old heirloom but comes with hybrid disease resistance. It was developed for greenhouse growing yet performs well in the open garden too. Plants are indeterminate and need staking, with maturity around 75 to 80 days. Resistance covers Fusarium wilt, root knot nematodes, and gray leaf spot. Grow it for heirloom-style slices with fewer plant losses.
