Overview
Fantastic is a Petoseed hybrid dating to 1964 that many gardeners in the Midwest, East and Southeast grew for decades. The strong indeterminate vine sets large, deep, smooth globe fruit of about 6 to 7 ounces with a green shoulder, and fruit size stays uniform all the way up the plant. It matures in about 70 days, on the early side of the main season, and is comparable to Moreton Hybrid. Provide a tall stake or trellis and expect a long harvest.
