Giant Belgium Tomato

Giant Belgium is a classic heirloom tomato known for its large, meaty pink fruits and rich, old-fashioned tomato flavour. This impressive beefsteak variety produces large, fleshy fruits with a good balance of sweetness and acidity. The tomatoes can be irregularly shaped, with attractive pink-red skin and dense, meaty interiors, making them excellent for fresh slicing, sandwiches, salads, and sauces. Plants are vigorous and productive when given plenty of warmth, sunlight, and support.

Starting & Growing Tips

Start seeds indoors approximately 6–8 weeks before the last spring frost. Sow 1/8–1/4 inch deep and keep the growing medium warm and evenly moist. A heat mat can help maintain the warm soil temperatures tomatoes need for reliable germination.

Transplant outdoors only after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. Choose a location with full sun and fertile, well-draining soil. Because Giant Belgium is an indeterminate variety, provide a sturdy cage, trellis, or stake for support. The large, heavy fruits benefit from good support as they develop.

Minimum Seed Count: 25 seeds
