Tomato Seeds, Dester

75 days. A large pink beefsteak variety that reaches 1 to 1 1/2 pounds. Its rich sweet flavor makes it an excellent slicer. The seed came to us from an Amish lady who lives just a few miles from our Baker Creek farm. Anna worked as a house cleaner for Dr. Dester and his wife in Indiana in the 1970s. Having acquired the seed from Germany, the Desters shared their favorite tomato seed with Anna, who treasured it and now shares it with us. One of our best-tasting tomatoes. Full SunSprouts in 7-14 DaysIdeal Temperature: 75-95 Degrees FSeed Depth: 1/8 inchPlant Spacing: 24"Frost Hardy: NoSolanum lycopersicumGrowing Tips: Start indoors 6-10 weeks before last frost.
