The gourmet flavor of vine-ripened cluster tomatoes meets the large size and super disease resistance of beefsteaks in Big Bunch! Each of these perfect round globes weighs in at around 10 ounces -- enormous by cluster-tomato standards, and just right for every use from salads and sandwiches to canning and fresh slicing! You're going to love this ultra disease-resistant, easy to grow, scrumptious new tomato . . . and it's available only here at Park!
Big Bunch is indeterminate, so its robust vines keep bearing all season long. And such fruits! Each cluster contains 3 to 4 giant 10-ounce globes, perfectly red, very firm, and packed with juicy, sugary, meaty flavor. One slice makes a sandwich, and one cluster fills a canning jar and then some!
Part of Big Bunch's appeal comes from its superb disease resistance. This is a tough customer, unfazed by nematodes, spotted wilt virus, verticillium wilt, fusarium wilt races 1 and 2, and tobacco mosaic virus. The result is bigger crops, more vigorous growth, and a longer season of performance!
But the bulk of Big Bunch's irresistible charm comes from its flavor. There is a nice balance of solids and gels, sugars and "meatiness," plus that true homegrown tomato tang that no supermarket specimen can duplicate. These are fragrant, firm, bursting-with-goodness tomatoes, and chances are the first time you pick a ripened cluster, you'll just have to gobble one tomato down right there in the garden, before you even make it to the kitchen! That's when you know you've got a winner.
Start seeds indoors 5 to 6 weeks before the last frost date. Plant outdoors when danger of frost is past and night temperatures consistently remain above 55 degrees F. If an unexpected late frost is forecasted, protect young plants with plastic sheeting or other cover. Set plants 2 to 2 1/2 feet apart. Pkt is 15 seeds.
Grown for its red, orange, or yellow, rounded, oblong, or pear-shaped fruits that come in a variety of sizes. The plant is a frost-tender perennial that is grown as an annual. The determinate types are compact and bushier, from 12-24 inches tall. They stop growing and producing fruit when they reach their inherent size. The indeterminate types are vines that will keep growing and producing fruit until they are killed by frost. The fruit is best picked when red and juicy, however, they may be picked green and allowed to ripen indoors. Harvest regularly to keep the vine producing fruit

First of all, we have humidity- and temperature-controlled storage, and we never treat any of our seeds with chemicals or pesticides. Nor do we ever sell GMO's (genetically modified seeds), so you always know the products you're buying from us are natural as well as safe for you and the environment.

Hand Packed By Experienced Technicians
Park Seed has been handling and packing vegetable and flower seeds for 145 years, a history that has given us a great understanding of how each variety should be cared for and maintained throughout every step of theprocess, from collection to shipping.
When packing our seeds, the majority are actually done by hand (with extreme care!), and we often over-pack them, so you're receiving more than the stated quantity.
The Park Seed Gold Standard
Heirloom Seeds are open-pollinated -- they are not hybrids. You can gather and save heirloom seed from year to year and they will grow true to type every year, so they can be passed down through generations. To be considered an heirloom, a variety would have to be at least from the 1940's and 3 generations old (many varieties are much older -- some 100 years or more!).
Hybrid seed are the product of cross-pollination between 2 different parent plants, resulting in a new plant/seed that is different from the parents. Unlike Heirloom seed, hybrid seed need to be re-purchased new every year (and not saved). They usually will not grow true to type if you save them, but will revert to one of the parents they were crossed with and most likely look/taste different in some way.
