Growing Better Boy Hybrid Slicing Tomato

Better Boy Hybrid Slicing VFNStA Tomato Seeds produce the dependable, richly flavored tomatoes that have made this variety a household name for generations. Known for its exceptional flavor balance and remarkable productivity, Better Boy has been celebrated as one of America’s all-time favorite hybrids — even earning a Guinness record for yielding 342 pounds of fruit from a single plant. Fruits are juicy yet firm, weighing 10 ounces to a pound, with smooth, round shape and deep red color that hold up beautifully in the garden and kitchen.

Maturing in about 75 days, the indeterminate vines thrive in full sun, producing vigorous growth and consistent crops from mid-season until frost. The plants’ tidy habit and strong foliage offer natural protection from sunscald, while high adaptability makes this variety successful across climates and soil types. Exceptional resistance to Verticillium Wilt, Fusarium Wilt (Race 1), Nematodes, Stemphylium Gray Leaf Spot, and Alternaria Stem Canker ensures healthier vines and longer harvests.

A proven performer for home gardeners and professionals alike, Better Boy Hybrid Slicing VFNStA Tomato Seeds combine big yields, classic tomato flavor, and outstanding reliability — everything you could ask for in a garden favorite that has stood the test of time.

My #1 tomato plant year after year.

I try new tomato varieties every year, but the one constant is the Better Boy and it out performs every other variety hands down. Easy to take care of and the tomatoes taste and look great, plus they store well after harvest.

Beautiful and Tasty Tomato.

Grows fairly large tomatoes, tasty and reliable producer.
I grow these every year for family and friends. Good for sandwiches and burgers. Produce until frost.

Might be Terrible

If they are like the lettuce seeds I got from you the I'll only have 17% of the seeds promised. Then of the ones I planted not any germinated. And the promise of a replacement package of new seeds didn't arrive.As of now I would not expect any of my seeds to grow.
