Description
|
|||
| Traditional old French variety bearing medium large fruits of good flavour. Very reliable outdoors, fairly early to mid season. | ||||
|
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 fruits as they ripen. Good all-round slicing tomato. Make Green Chutney with the autumn fruits. | ||||
