Big Beef Hybrid (VFFNT) Tomato Plants

Better Tomatoes--and More of Them

(3 customer reviews)

True old-time tomato flavor with the improvement of hybrid yields is the Big Beef Hybrid Tomato. Big, beefy, red 10- to 12-ounce fruits are super for slicing or for salads. Indeterminate. 73 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.

Big Beef VS Better Boy
Reviewed By: Mike (Lawson, MO)
Have always planted Better Boys, which I really like. Last year, I planted several Better Boys next to Big Beef plants. I must say I like them both. Although the Better Boy is an older favorite, I would still favor them for production and health of plant(taste, size and flavor are very similar). Last year was a really good year for tomatos, and I think I had a great chance to compare both. Next year, I am going with Early Girls, Better Boy, and Delicious (which I have never tried before). Looking forward to it already.

The Best Tomato
Reviewed By: Mike Miracle (Shadyside, Ohio)
I've been gardening for over 35yrs and have tried a lot of tomato varieties but the Big Beef is the best by far in production, taste, and climate conditions. It was very dry last year but that didn't stop these tomatoes from producing an outstanding crop. I don't grow any other variety. Mike
