Red Tomato
Better Boy tomatoes are indeterminate and mature in 72 days after planting. Better Boy is considered a red tomato and has globe-shaped red fruit. Average fruit size of the Better Boy is 12 oz.
Indeterminate
Indeterminate tomato plants such as the Better Boy are tall vine plants that will bear fruit until the first frost. Better Boy plants need to be staked up with a trellis or tomato cage to keep the fruit off the ground.
Resistance
Better Boy is resistant to verticillium wilt, fusarium wilt and nematodes. Fusarium and verticillium wilt are diseases that will cause leaves to turn yellow and will hasten premature dying in tomato plants.
