Dwarf Burpee Giant Tomato

An heirloom tomato that was introduced back in 1909. This was a cross between dwarf Champion and Ponderosa tomatoes. This was an USDA accession known as NSL 43541. Dwarf Burpee Giant Tomato is also known as Giant Dwarf tomato. This is a mid to late season tomato plant with regular rugose leaves. These are a determinate variety that produces these 6oz (ca. 227 gram) to 10oz (ca. 378 gram) beefsteak tomatoes. Make sure to stake your plants well. The reason is because of the weight and production that happen in short 4-6 week time period. They have a great balance in flavor, which makes them an excellent slicer for sandwiches.
