Overview
Fourth of July (or 4th of July) is a Burpee hybrid named for its ability to ripen by the holiday in northern gardens. It is one of the earliest standard-sized tomatoes, with the first ripe fruit about 49 days after transplant, or around 90 days from seed. Fruit is red, about four ounces and two and a half inches, firm and extra juicy, with better flavor than most very early types. The indeterminate vine grows past two feet and keeps producing through summer and fall once the early flush is over, so stake or cage it. A useful choice where hot weather cuts the season short.
