Mrs. Maxwell's Big Italian Heirloom Beefsteak Tomato Seeds
Mrs. Maxwell’s Big Italian Heirloom Beefsteak Tomato Seeds produce large, richly flavored fruits that have become a favorite among heirloom tomato enthusiasts. Originally brought from Italy and carefully refined by Mrs. Maxwell of Missouri, this early-maturing heirloom delivers generous yields of one- to two-pound fruits with reddish-pink skin, meaty texture, and the full-bodied taste of traditional garden tomatoes. The flavor is balanced and robust, perfect for slicing, canning, or transforming into rich sauces.
Plants mature in just about 69 days—remarkably early for a tomato of this size—and the sturdy, potato-leaf vines are both vigorous and dependable. They thrive in full sun, producing consistently large, high-quality fruits over an extended harvest period. The flesh is dense and juicy, with few seeds and excellent holding quality, making this variety equally suited for fresh eating or preserving.
A true Italian heirloom perfected in America, Mrs. Maxwell’s Big Italian Heirloom Beefsteak Tomato Seeds bring together exceptional flavor, reliable performance, and timeless appeal. Big, beautiful, and bursting with classic tomato goodness, this variety remains a standout choice for anyone seeking the authentic taste of old-world tomatoes.
