Hi -
I grew Better Bush two summers ago. It's hard to describe flavor,
especially after so long a time, but I remember I did like them better than
Better Boy. The fruit was a nice shape and it sliced nicely. You will not
need to stake, as the plant does not get as tall, and it is very sturdy. A
cage would help support the fruit, but I'm not completely sure it was
necessary (no notes!).
I would have grown them last year again, but I couldn't find any seeds or
seedlings.
