Description

|
A productive plant bearing very large bright orange fruits. Very sweet and juicy with few pips. A good choice for those that prefer a non-acid tomato. |

|
Culture
|
||||
| Grow plugs on in pots before planting out after the 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. | ||||
