Solanum lycopersicum Better Boy Plus Tomato
Solanum lycopersicum Better Boy Plus Tomato is an upgraded, high-yielding hybrid variety, valued for its massive red fruits and superior disease resistance package. Growing to about 5 to 8 feet tall with a spread of 2 to 3 feet, this indeterminate variety is perfect for home vegetable gardens, market growers, and large containers where reliability and flavor are paramount. Unlike the original classic, Better Boy Plus offers enhanced resistance to Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus (TSWV) and gray leaf spot, ensuring a robust, healthy plant that produces an extended harvest of smooth, 1-pound slicers well into the fall.
Culinary and Practical Uses
- The juicy, balanced flavor profile—striking the perfect ratio of sweet to acid—makes it an exceptional choice for fresh slicing on sandwiches, burgers, and salads.
- Its dense, meaty flesh holds up beautifully when cooked, making it a versatile kitchen staple for homemade marinara sauces, soups, and salsas.
- Rich in lycopene, Vitamin C, and potassium, providing a nutrient-dense addition to daily meals.
Characteristics
- Foliage: Dense, vigorous green leaves that provide excellent coverage, protecting the developing fruit from sunscald; highly resistant to common foliage diseases.
- Growth Habit: Indeterminate vining habit that continues to grow and set fruit throughout the season; requires sturdy cages or stakes to support the heavy yield.
- Flowers: Produces clusters of small, bright yellow blossoms that self-pollinate and rapidly develop into large, globose fruits.
- Seeds: F1 Hybrid seeds that offer vigorous germination and disease resistance; seeds saved from these plants will not produce true-to-type offspring.
Growing Requirements
- Sun: Thrives in full sun; requires at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily to maximize sugar content and fruit size.
- Soil: Adapts to most soil types but prefers fertile, deep, well-draining soil enriched with compost and a pH between 6.0 and 6.8.
- Water: Requires consistent, deep watering; regular moisture is critical to preventing blossom end rot and fruit cracking, especially during dry spells.
- Spacing: Plant seeds or transplants 24 to 36 inches apart to allow for air circulation and manage the vigorous vine growth.
- Maintenance: Prune "suckers" (side shoots) to improve airflow and fruit size; feed regularly with a tomato-specific fertilizer once the first fruits begin to form.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.7 / 5 from 471 reviews.
My banana plant arrived perfectly protected and ready to plant. Thank you Blossomdale for taking great care of my baby banana plant!!
The fig trees arrived today in small pots very well packed. I removed them and watered them. I will let them "rest" for 4 to 5 days before I repot them and prepare them for winter, inside. Very pleased with these trees. After getting other sellers rotten packing jobs this was a real treat. I may buy more in the spring of 2027.
Packed so well! I was surprised how many flowers my orange ones had! Will definitely buy from them again! My original ordered flowers were out of stock and I received an email about replacements. I love them!
Very healthy and beautiful
Healthy and beautiful! A little smaller than I expected.
I was very impressed with how well my 18 little lantanas were packed. All looked healthy and I planted them yesterday. It was a little difficult unpacking them but that’s the price I paid for having you pack them so well. I was a little worried when I saw UPS coming to the door with the box slung over the driver’s shoulder despite the fact that the box was marked with an ⬆️ and it said live plants. But all is well. Now if I can just keep them alive.
Lovely little guy-- impossible to find coral honeysuckle at my local nursery for whatever reason. I really appreciate that the Blossomdale staff kept it and nurtured it a little longer so it would be more robust for the trip. Can't wait to put it in the ground and watch it thrive :-) Will order from them again.
The mahoi double banana tree delivered on time, perfectly protected from shipping damage, and ready to plant. Love my new banana tree!
It was my very first plant I order online so I wasn’t sure what to expect but when it got here and in one piece and as long as it is I was shocked but very HAPPY.
It's doing really well. I will be transferring it to a bigger pot probably by the weekend. I wish I had a little more instructions on how to care for this variety, and what to do in the fall.
Plants arrived fine.. got them planted. Now i will let you know next spring. If they survive and grow back.. So far, i am ok with them
Erigeron Karvinskianus Fleabane ‘Santa Barbara/Mexican Daisy'
Just waiting for when they get big and tall and start producing bananas.
Plant arrived quickly and came in good shape!
Package came delivered just like it said it would I pulled it out it looked good. I put it in some water for about a half hour and put it in my 30 gallon tub and I got three things to go with it.
Banana tree came nice and healthy and ready to go!

Haven’t transplanted yet, but it’s a beautiful plant. We are gifting it to a friend that moved…Friendship Plant is very appropriate!
I love it
Truly tiny is still tiny but healthy!
It seems to be doing well but could have been packed better.
Blossom Dale did a wonderful job with packaging and Sedum Autumn Joy plants arrived in great condition and are thriving. So far so good.
The milkweed is not doing well...
Very healthy cutting. Followed the instructions and let it get acclimated to its new surroundings for a couple of weeks before repotting. Would not hesitate to purchase from this business again 😃
Plants arrived in great condition. This plant has only been in the ground about 10 days and is growing a lot. The plant cage is 12” tall so it’s doing well. I put guards around my new plants for a little while because I have bunnies who love tender young leaves.
Got this for my wife’s birthday. Plan to pot it soon.
I got 2 mystery plants (one indoor and one outdoor). The indoor was a pilea and the outdoor plant was a white blackberry. White blackberry was dramatic, but it’s making a comeback and the pilea is doing great!
Came in well packed and the plant was alive and healthy!
Even though the newest leaf was broken off it seems to be doing well
My little banana arrived happy and healthy!
The plant arrived well packaged with instructions on how to get started. It had been doing really well and has been growing like a weed!
It is just putting roots down now.
Received in great condition, transplanted just before heavy rain and its thriving
Just a little shock put her in a fabric pot on the back porch full sun should be happy thank you for the lovely plant
Fair price good looking plant can’t wait for it to get bigger!
Need to upgrade your packaging. I would suggest taping the plant in place in the cardboard tube on the count that it slid and smashed itself. Luckily, it's a strong plant and should recover. Hoping.for the best.
So Beautiful. Packaged well . Love my little guy.
It’s so cool I love it!!!
She is doing well even after a rough delivery. She is thriving and putting on new growth. Thank you.
