'Bush Champion' is a great variety for growing in large containers on patios and decks! The plant is more upright and bushy than other vining types, which makes it ideal for gardeners that have limited space but want to grow their own tomatoes. This determinate, disease resistant variety will produce one large crop of tomatoes. The large, 9 - 12oz, globed shaped fruit are meaty and flavorful and are great for slicing, salads or sandwiches.
