Enjoy the delicious flavor of homegrown tomatoes even without a large garden! With Bonnie Plants Better Bush Tomato, you'll enjoy tasty tomato sandwiches and savory sauce from your own small-space garden or patio container. This easy-to-grow, disease-resistant, determinate plant produces abundant harvests of richly flavored, medium-sized fruit during a two-month period. Start with Bonnie Plants Better Bush Tomato live plants instead of seeds, and you're off to a great start. The short, bushy vines produce loads of fruit to use fresh or preserve. The heavy foliage of this hybrid plant helps protect tomatoes from sunburn. Enjoy the tomatoes in a BLT, diced in salads, or layered in tomato pie. Plant the tomato in full sun, 24 to 36 inches apart. It grows 3 to 5 feet tall and matures in 68 days. Adding a tomato cage helps support fruit-heavy plants, which are resistant to fusarium wilt (F), verticillium wilt (V), and nematodes (N). Be sure to water your plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Bonnie Plants live plant varieties are designed for your gardening success, whether they're disease-resistant, heat-tolerant, space-savers, or produce abundant harvests.
