Variety characteristics:

• 262 Mega Marv is an impressive giant beefsteak tomato producing substantial red fruits commonly weighing approximately 16 to 24 oz, with exceptional specimens exceeding 2 lb under favorable growing conditions. Broad, flattened fruits develop full shoulders, pronounced ribbing, and occasional irregular lobes before ripening to rich red. The dense, meaty flesh remains satisfyingly juicy and delivers classic, full-bodied tomato flavor, combining generous sweetness with refreshing acidity. Thick slices make an outstanding foundation for sandwiches and burgers, offering substantial texture and balanced flavor in every bite. Tall indeterminate plants produce generous crops and require sturdy staking or trellising, with additional support for exceptionally heavy fruits. Expect the main harvest approximately 85 days after transplanting, with timing influenced by climate and growing conditions. Excellent for fresh slicing, sandwiches, burgers, salads, tomato platters, sauces, and homemade tomato juice.
