Produces a Bushel of Fruit per Plant

  (3 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.

A lot of my seeds were from China this year also....We used to get seeds from Canada sometimes but now it seems most are from overseas....I will find a source for made in U.S.A seeds this year.

I just went to plant my seeds. Reading the package and it says imported from China. Can't even get seeds from the good ol' USA anymore. You guys can do better than that.

Reviewed By: Danny (Beaverton, Oregon)
Very sturdy plants and it make a GREAT SLICING TOMATO FOR SURE! Grows great in the Pacific NW where there is cool weather some of the time and at other times, it can be very warm. We're growing it right here in NW Oregon!
