Overview
Bush Big Boy is Burpee's compact take on its famous Big Boy: the plants are determinate and about half the size, with added disease resistance, yet they still bear fruit in the 10 to 11 ounce class. It is meant for garden use where a full-sized indeterminate Big Boy would take too much room, and a short cage is enough support.
