These red, plum-shaped fruits reach a generous 8–10 oz and deliver a thick, creamy interior that shines in sauces and canned goods. The near-seedless interior and skins that peel away after a quick par-boil mean less prep time and more focus on flavor. This Burpee-exclusive variety is bred for reliability in the home garden, helping you plan ahead for abundant harvests without sacrificing taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom seed to harvest, Big Mama is built for steady performance. Indeterminate vines climb to about 70 inches tall with a 60-inch spread, offering a long, productive season. Expect a first harvest around 80 days after transplanting outdoors, with fruit production continuing until frost. The plants respond well to support, such as a tomato cage, to keep fruit easy to reach as the vines grow and heavy with plump red fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes Big Mama special\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLarge, thick, paste-style fruits that weigh 8–10 oz and provide substantial sauce potential.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRed, plum-shaped tomatoes with a near-seedless interior for easier processing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSkin that peels away easily after par-boiling, reducing prep time for sauces and preserves.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGrow with ease\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeed quality and germination: 50 non-GMO seeds per packet, with germination rates higher than industry standards (about 35% higher).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlanting and care: Sow indoors 6–8 weeks before the average last frost; harden off before outdoor transplanting; provide a sturdy cage or support for tall vines.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHarvest, cook, and preserve\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDo-it-all paste tomato with rich flavor ideal for thick sauces, stews, and canning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProduce remains productive through the season, making it easier to build up a stocked pantry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBurpee’s classic quality is backed by a brand guarantee focused on healthy seeds and reliable performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, Big Mama offers a reliable, garden-to-kitchen experience with generous fruit size, a flavorful paste interior, and practical processing benefits.
