Consequently, how many tomatoes does a better boy produce?
While a "Better Boy" tomato plant set a Guinness World Record by producing more than 340 pounds of tomatoes from a single plant, you aren't likely to harvest quite that much from your "Better Boy." You can, however, expect an abundant crop of deep red, 1-pound slicers that are ready to harvest in just 70 to 75 days.
In this way, which is better Big Boy or Better Boy tomatoes?
High yields of smooth skinned, large fruit earn Better Boy a spot as one of the most popular tomatoes grown in the US and as one of our all time best sellers.
"Better Boy" tomatoes thrive and fruit heavily when grown in a spot that gets full sun, with six hours of sun a minimum for good results. They also need fertile soil. When planting, add 2 or 3 inches of compost to the bottom of each hole, along with a handful of bonemeal.
