Clovers Garden Big Boy Tomato Plant – Two -2- Live Plants – Non-GMO - Not Seeds - Each 5" to 7" Tall – in 3.5 Inch Pots

The Big Boy hybrid tomato made its debut in 1949, and was an instant success due to its incredible productivity and gorgeous, perfect, large red fruits.

Too many problems with fungus start when you continuously water tomatoes late in the evening. Stake or cage these tomatoes as they grow tall and hold a heavy load. These healthy 5-7 foot tall vines will bear heavy mid- season, and will continue to produce into the fall, though not as heavily. Expect harvest 75-85 days after seeding. They will produce until the frost
