This variety seems promising to grow for size.
The seller of this seed also offers Bill Bean Select, which came from a tomato that measured 22" around. What would be the approximate weight of that? Here's a link to the seed company offering Bill Bean seeds.

If you go to the link I provided, and scroll about halfway down the page, you can see a picture of a large Bill Bean tomato in a shovel/spade. What do you think that tomato might have weighed? It looks pretty massive to me. This is one of the heirloom varieties I may be growing for competition this year.

A 22"tomato would weigh about 4 lbs. It is worth giving a try, it is described as very meaty with few seeds witch helps at growing a gaint tomato.good luck with it.
