Classic, Old-Fashioned Tomato Flavor: Better Bush brings back the juicy, tangy flavor of traditional homegrown tomatoes, offering a rich, satisfying bite that many modern hybrids can’t match. Ideal for slicing, sandwiches, or enjoying fresh from the vine.
Compact, High-Yielding Growth Habit: Growing to about 3 feet tall, Better Bush is a determinate variety with densely packed fruit clusters. Thanks to its shorter internodes, the plant remains manageable and productive, making it perfect for container gardens, patios, and small garden spaces.
Minimal Staking, Maximum Production: The sturdy central stem typically requires little to no staking, except during exceptionally heavy harvests. This ease of maintenance allows gardeners to focus more on enjoying the harvest and less on plant care.
Strong Disease Resistance for Healthy Plants: Built-in resistance to verticillium wilt and Fusarium wilt race 1 keeps plants vigorous and productive all season long, ensuring higher yields and reducing the need for chemical treatments.
Easy to Start and Grow: Sow seeds indoors 5–6 weeks before your last frost date. Transplant seedlings outdoors when nighttime temperatures stay above 55°F. Space plants 2 to 2½ feet apart and protect young plants with row covers if an unexpected frost threatens.
