Grandfather Ashlock
Classic beefsteak — balanced, sweet-tart, rich
A Tennessee family heirloom passed down through the Ashlock family. Deep red, large, with the classic balance of sweetness and acid that defines great beefsteak tomatoes. One of the more obscure heirlooms in the garden — worth growing for its history as much as its flavor.
Reliable producer. Good disease resistance. Classic beefsteak character.
