Tomato Montfavet F1 | Lycopersicon esculentum | ||
 |
Description
|
|||
| The earliest of our selection of tomatoes, produces smooth round fruits of a medium size 120-150g approx 8 days earlier than average. | ||||
|
Culture
|
||||
| For garden or tunnel. 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 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. | ||||

Harvest/Use
|
||||
|
Expect 2kg from outdoor plants rising to 4kg if grown under shelter. Pick single fruits as they ripen or allow complete trusses to ripen before picking. |
