A beloved classic, Big Boy produces large, juicy, flavorful tomatoes throughout the season. Perfect for fresh eating, sandwiches, salads, and salsas. The vigorous vines benefit from staking or growing in a tall cage. For the best flavor, store ripe tomatoes at room temperature indoors or in a shady spot outdoors; avoid refrigeration, as temperatures below 55°F can diminish flavor.
