Overview
Better Bush is an early hybrid that behaves like a compromise between bush and vine: the plants are indeterminate but stocky and upright, topping out at 3 to 4 feet. They bear round red fruit of about 8 ounces starting around 68 days from transplant, with resistance to nematodes and to Verticillium and Fusarium wilt. A single stake or cage is plenty, which suits patios and small beds.
