Product Information Chevron Down Chevron Forward

Our Box Car Willie Tomato seeds make a great choice if you're looking to grow tomatoes with some good old-fashioned flavor.

This prolific heirloom tomato variety is better than most of today's tomato hybrids. The size of the rounded red fruits of the Box Car Willie tomato is roughly 12-18 oz. The indeterminate vines of Box Car Willie produce excellent, crack-free, disease-tolerant tomatoes with a sweet yet tart flavor.
