Better Boy Plus F1 tomato
I saw this:
https://tomatogrowers.com/collections/n ... r-boy-plus
What do you think? I'm hoping it'll do better to than the original in my garden. It has more disease resistance, and may have improved taste.
The get also have a Celebrity Plus F1 and a Lemon Boy Plus F1. Edit: I've also seen Big Beef Plus F1, Celebrity Supreme F1 (like Celebrity Plus F1, but bigger and later), and maybe more. For most, the primary advertised improvement is improved viral disease resistance.

Re: Better Boy Plus F1 tomato
I have never seen a tomato that had better disease resistance have better taste as well. The fruits of the improved cultivar are said to be smaller too.
