Purple Boy Tomato is a hybrid, indeterminate variety that offers exceptional flavor coupled with disease-resistance to perform in the harshest conditions. It offers the great heirloom tang that you've come to expect from varieties like Cherokee Purple, but with more plant vigor so that it can be grown later into the warmer months.
Purple Boy Tomato produces tomatoes with a deep purple color inside and out. Unlike its heirloom counterparts, fruits will be more uniform and symmetrically-shaped, making them easier to slice and prepare for that delicious tomato sandwich. It is resistant to Tobacco Mosaic Virus and Root Knot Nematodes, making it widely-adapted for a wide range of growing conditions.

They did very well. The size of the tomato wasn't great, but they were very prolific and uniform. Heat did slow them down, but not completely.
No end rot issues and tolerated the cold spring for me rather well. I'll grow again with expectations adjusted for fruit size.
My largest 2.4# vs the Purple Boy.
Love purple tomatoes and this one is awesome. Size, timing and Taste are all perfect. Very pleased
Very healthy plants I will buy all my plants from hoss from now on
I’m not much of a tomato person. I mainly like to grow them for salsa. But I really like this one. I picked tons of tomatoes off of 2 plants.
