Ceylon or other mini beefsteak tomatoes

uno · February 13, 2021

I was considering growing Ceylon or another small beefsteak like tomato this season.

I just wanted to see if any one grew Ceylon or other mini beefsteak types and what they thought if them.

Thanks

Jim

I have grown Ceylon and I thought they were great. So cute and very good flavor and production for me. I am trying to remember what other mini-beefsteaks I have grown....

Microbecium Occemus is described as a mini-beefsteak. To me, it is like a miniature Costoluto Genovese, very ribbed with a lot of gel rather than being meaty. The taste is surprisingly very good. And, it is extremely prolific.
