Description

|||
| Early maturing English variety with full flavoured bright red fruits. Good indoor and outdoor use. | ||||
|
Culture
|
||||
| Sow seeds under cover in March at 20-22 C. Grow on in pots before planting out in a sunny sheltered place. Prick out the growing tip after the 4th truss to promote ripening.Will need supporting by tying at 30cm spacing. Pinch out side shoots when they are about 2.5cm long. Remove a few leaves below each fruit truss as they become yellow - but not too many. Water every day, intermittent watering can cause cracking or blacking of the flower end of the fruit. | ||||
