Plant deeply, burying the stem up to the first true leaves, and space according to your support method (15 inches apart for cages, 3 feet for stakes). Water at soil level with a soaker hose, aiming to soak 6-8 inches down every seven days, and apply organic fertilizer every 2-3 weeks. For staked plants, select two main stems and prune away others; caged plants need no pruning. Harvest fruit when fully colored but still slightly firm, allowing them to ripen on the vine for best flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Florida Plant Nursery","offers":[{"title":"4 inch","offer_id":45814252273850,"sku":"30457","price":29.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/3520\/4026\/files\/organic-beefsteak-tomato.jpg?v=1777509671","url":"https:\/\/floridaplantnursery.com\/products\/organic-beefsteak-tomato","provider":"Florida Plant Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
