Description
|
|||
This unusual variety of tomato plant produces trusses of pear shaped fruits 25g in either red or yellow. Very decorative cocktails. | ||||
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 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. | ||||
