Watermelon Heirloom Beefsteak Tomato Seeds grow an impressive old heirloom from the 1800s. The big beefsteak fruits are a soft pink, like the flesh of a crimson sweet watermelon, often reaching 1 to 2 pounds each with a slightly scalloped top and oblong shape. They have a nice, mild, sweet tomato flavor on indeterminate vines that grow 4 to 5 feet tall and need staking.
