What variety/varieties produce the largest tomatoes for you ?? My best all around winner would be Amish Paste and in 2012 I think it was, I had several off the same vine that were over two pounds each.

We saved those seeds and the following seasons were blessed with many large tomatoes, but never again the two pound plus ones.

Peace

I second what you said. Amish Paste were the biggest ones I ever grew.

Cherokee Purple, I feel these tomatoe are the perfect sandwich tomato because one slice will cover a slice of bread.

We are going to try growing those Amish paste tomatoes.
We prefer Brandywine for eating tomatoes, but plant Roma varieties to dice and freeze for later sauce making.

Thomas, we grew San Marzano and Roma for our sauce making, used the Amish Paste more for canned diced tomatoes.

I wanted to try a variety called Canadian Stuffing, which I think may be the same as an Ox Heart, but never got around to it. Perhaps next year !

Anne we grew Beef Steaks for the "one slice" maters !

Also kinda liked Black Krim for plain eating ones

Matt, if I could only have one, it would be the Amish Paste, all around winner for me.

Currently, we are growing San Marzano and Roma tomatoes, and a few Brandywines.
The larger Amish might give me more mater per plant than the smaller varieties.
