The Steakhouse Tomato Plant is a hybrid cultivar that produces large slicing tomatoes weighing up to 3 pounds each. The flavorful tomatoes can be eaten raw in salads and sandwiches or used in stews and sauces. This large plant produces big tomatoes, so stake the plants to hold up the stems. Steakhouse tomatoes are indeterminate and will continue to set flowers and produce tomatoes until the frost.
Steakhouse Tomato Plant Care
Tomato plants are not cold tolerant, so wait until there is no longer a threat of frost and the temperature is consistently warm to move the plants outdoors. The soil should be slightly acidic, rich, and well drained. Plant in full sun because this fast-growing plant needs plenty of light to produce its large fruit. Space plants about 30 inches apart so air can flow around the foliage.
Growing Steakhouse Tomato Plant
Plants reach maturity in 75 to 80 days, and tomatoes are ready to pick when they are a medium to deep red. Mature plants stand 5 to 7 feet tall and 24 to 36 inches wide. Use cages or a trellis for support.
Steakhouse Tomato Plants are commonly grown in garden beds because they are large, but this plant can also be grown in a container. Select a large container at least 20 inches wide with drainage.
Watering Steakhouse Tomato Plant
Tomatoes are thirsty plants, especially after they set fruit. Water tomato plants when the top layer of soil starts to dry. Deeply water to help the plants establish a robust root system.
Feeding Steakhouse Tomato Plant
Steakhouse Tomato Plants are fast growers that need help to bulk up and produce sizable fruit. Fertilize plants every three weeks using a 6:24:24 plant food or a formula specific for tomatoes.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
