A
Description
A professional tomato, large 180g, round and resistant to cracking. With a very good taste, the fruit's green coller is virtually invisible when mature. A must for early to mid season outdoors.
Culture
Grow on the plugs in pots before planting out after all risk of frost has passed. Prick out the growing tip after the 4th truss to promote ripening.Will need supporting by tying at 15cm 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.
Harvest/Use
Pick the fruits as they ripen.
