This is the first year I am growing Magnum Beefsteak. I bought the seeds a few years ago but didn't grow them till this year. So far from 2 plants all the tomatoes have been over 1.5 pounds. The one I picked today is 1 pound 12 ounces. Flavor and texture is very good for such large toms. Yield is not great but if you want to grow big, good tasting tomatoes with no special effort you may want to try these.
