(6 customer reviews)

Guinness record holder--342 pounds of fruit from one plant! Better Boy Hybrid (VFN) Tomato is deep red and meaty, up to a pound each. Dense foliage cover, too. Indeterminate. 75 DAYS.

Tomatoes offer so many delicious possibilities-slice them, sauce them, can them, or turn them into salsa!

Selection Tip: when choosing varieties, keep in mind that “determinates” ripen over 3-4 weeks on bushy vines that usually need no staking. “Indeterminate” vines continue to grow and produce fruit all season until frost. The large vines need support.

Better Boy
Reviewed By: Mike (Lawson, MO)
Some of the reviews on this tomato puzzle me. This has been the best tomtato for me. I quit growing the Big Beef beside it because the Better Boy always out performed it. A wonderful tomato in everyway. I generally grow about 18 plants of different 3 or 4 kinds. Better Boy has been my favorite.

The tomato can't help where you get your seeds
Reviewed By: Kobb (Birmingham, Al)
I also do not like the seeds coming from China; But you can't hold that against the tomato. It is a very good producer here in Alabama and the taste is wonderful. It is mediun sized and produces all season. It is meaty, not seedy, and taste like a tomato should. Kobb
