About This

• Classic Tomato Flavor: Better Bush offers the rich, tangy, old-fashioned tomato flavor that many modern hybrids lack, making it an excellent choice for gardeners who crave the authentic taste of vine-fresh tomatoes. Every fruit delivers juicy, succulent flavor perfect for slicing, salads, and fresh eating straight from the garden.
• Compact, High-Yielding Plants: Growing to a manageable height of about 3 feet, Better Bush’s determinate plants are designed with short internodes that allow large fruits to cluster densely along the stem. The central stem typically needs little to no staking, even under the weight of heavy harvests, making it ideal for gardens with limited space or container planting.
• Big, Beautiful Fruits: Producing 4-inch tomatoes that are meaty, smooth-skinned, and deeply colored, Better Bush ensures both beauty and substance in every harvest. These robust fruits mature early in the season and continue setting new fruits steadily, providing a continuous supply of fresh tomatoes for weeks.
• Strong Disease Resistance: This hybrid offers excellent protection against verticillium wilt and Fusarium wilt race 1, two common diseases that can devastate tomato crops. With this resistance built in, Better Bush plants stay vigorous, healthy, and highly productive through changing weather conditions and into late summer.
• Simple Growing Instructions: Start seeds indoors approximately 5 to 6 weeks before your region’s last expected frost date. Once nighttime temperatures consistently stay above 55°F, transplant seedlings outdoors, allowing 2 to 2½ feet between plants for proper air circulation. Use row covers if a late frost threatens to ensure young plants stay protected and achieve a strong, early start.
