Burpee’s Big Boy Hybrid Beefsteak Tomato Seeds bring back the classic, “real tomato” taste that made this the first famous hybrid—and a favorite for generations. The fruits are smooth-skinned, meaty, and richly flavored, ideal for thick sandwich slices and summer salads. Vines are vigorous and adaptable, performing reliably in a wide range of climates and conditions to produce steady harvests from midseason onward. Average fruit weight runs about 10–11 ounces, with many tomatoes approaching a pound when well fed and watered, delivering the satisfying heft gardeners love in a true beefsteak.
Maturing in roughly 78 days, these indeterminate plants thrive in full sun and benefit from sturdy cages or stakes to support the ongoing set of large fruit. The flesh stays firm without being dry, giving you a balanced, juicy bite that holds together on the cutting board. Consistent quality, blemish resistance, and dependable productivity make Burpee’s Big Boy a go-to choice for home gardens and market tables alike.
If you want a proven red slicer with old-fashioned flavor and modern hybrid reliability, Burpee’s Big Boy Hybrid Beefsteak Tomato Seeds deliver the taste and performance that keep this classic at the top of gardeners’ lists year after year.
