Plant Features

Celebrity tomatoes are garden all-stars, celebrated for their robust, flavorful fruits that deliver top-notch quality. This hybrid variety yields bright red tomatoes typically weighing 7 to 10 ounces, with smooth, firm skin that resists cracking—perfect for slicing into salads, sandwiches, or fresh eating. The flesh is juicy and meaty, offering a rich, well-balanced tomato flavor with a hint of sweetness.

Why grow Celebrity? This determinate plant produces a concentrated crop in a short window, earning praise for its exceptional disease resistance, including Fusarium, Verticillium, and Nematodes. An All-America Selections winner in 1984, it’s a reliable choice for gardeners seeking high yields and consistent performance in a compact, bushy form.

Grown naturally and pesticide-free, our Celebrity starter plants arrive healthy and ready to thrive in your garden. Nurtured with care, they ensure a bountiful harvest of these award-winning, versatile tomatoes.

Celebrity Tomato

I want to express my thanks to you for the excellent care you put into shipping my plants. I have been ordering vegetable plants online for about 25 years and through mail order before that for 40 years and this is the first time my plants arrived in pristine condition and well packed. I was also surprised at the growth of the plants something I have never seen before in my orders. Again, thank for a job well done.

First Order

This is my first time ordering from this company and I have been very happy. I have never planted this type of tomato before so I cannot review the tomato plant itself. As I live in Northeast Ohio I cannot plant for another three weeks because it’s too cold and we’re still expecting snow over the weekend. I wish they would ship to my area at a later date then the end of April.

Mr. Beefy

Say it! Mr. Beefy! Once this plant rooted it grew like crazy and I barely fed it, only used gat guano and earthworm castings. Solid plants
