It doesn't really matter what Burpee brand decided to name these tomatoes. Essentially, the plants on the left and right are beefsteak tomatoes and the one in the center is an heirloom tomato. I decided to stake the tomatoes this time because last year they took over the entire garden, flopping down on the rest of the plants every time it rained or we got minor wind. The stakes are only 50 inches tall, so I'll still use the railing behind the garden for support if/when they surpass the 50 inch stake. These pictures were taken May 21st. As of that date, the heirloom tomatoes were winning in the height department at 16 inches. First to 50 inches wins absolutely nothing!
Stay sunny,
Christine
