Know before you buy
No, the Bush Early Girl is a self-supporting variety. Its compact 18-inch frame is sturdy enough to hold its fruit without the need for additional staking or caging.
These plants produce 4-inch red slicer tomatoes that typically weigh about 6 ounces each. They are notably larger than the standard Early Girl variety.
This is a determinate variety. It will grow to its mature height of 18 inches and produce its harvest over a concentrated period, making it ideal for those who want a reliable, early crop.
You can expect these tomatoes to reach maturity in approximately 65 days. They are bred to ripen very early in the season, just two days after the original Early Girl.
An F1 hybrid is created by cross-pollinating two specific parent plants to combine their best traits. In this case, it results in a plant with improved disease resistance and consistent, high-quality fruit production.
