I live in Los Angeles and planted some Supersteak this year. They seem happy in the SoCal climate and the fruit is HUGE. Take a look:


If you have any plans to visit west LA, let me know and I'll be happy to give you a cutting I have rooting right now!

Try Big Beef. It is a hybrid but very hardy and does well in the heat and has a good balanced taste with some of that old time tomato flavor. I would also recommend some of the blacks or darker tomatoes which also do good in the heat like Indian Stripe. A good large red beefsteak that has set fruit during the heat for me this year is Neves Azorean Red and it is productive as well as tasty.

B54red, could you compare & contrast the taste of IS & CP? Gonna have to add NAR to my list for next season. Wish I could go back to the beginning of this season, there's soo many more I wanted to try.

I gotta agree with Timmah! The earthtainers were the way to go for me last year and if your wife doesn't like blacks maybe the Amana Orange. Huge fruit, meaty texture and low acid. Will never have a garden without them again



That is a full sized dinner plate they are on.

Good luck.
