What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Grow the striking, flavorful Hillbilly Tomato with seeds from Survival Garden Seeds. This West Virginia heirloom is known for its massive 1–2 pound beefsteak fruits, vibrant yellow-and-red marbled coloring, and naturally sweet, low-acid flavor. The indeterminate vines can reach 5–10 feet tall, producing generous yields of dense, beautifully patterned slicing tomatoes throughout the season.

Sweet, Marbled, and Truly Eye-Catching:
Hillbilly tomatoes stand out for their bright yellow flesh streaked with pink and red, creating impressive slices that look as good as they taste. With few seeds, a firm texture, and mild sweetness, these tomatoes are perfect for fresh eating, sandwiches, and summer platters.

Why Customers Love Hillbilly Tomatoes:

  • Huge 1–2 lb beefsteak tomatoes with dramatic yellow-red marbling
  • Sweet, low-acid flavor and dense, meaty texture with few seeds
  • Tall indeterminate vines reaching 5–10 feet for abundant harvests
  • Heat-tolerant and crack-resistant for dependable performance
  • A unique West Virginia heirloom prized for fresh slicing

How to Grow:
Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before your final frost date. Transplant outdoors once the weather warms, selecting a location with full sun and nutrient-rich, well-drained soil. Provide strong support to accommodate the tall, vigorous vines. Water deeply and consistently to promote steady fruit development and reduce stress during hot weather.

Harvest & Use:
Harvest when tomatoes display full marbling and give slightly under gentle pressure. Hillbilly tomatoes shine when sliced thick for sandwiches, fresh salads, and colorful serving plates. Their mild sweetness and firm flesh make them versatile for both casual meals and showy presentations.
