Earlier ripening than the majority of other beefsteak tomatoes means you’ll be harvesting Mediterranean style, big, rich flavoured fruit for months! With a rich, old-fashioned tomato flavour and few seeds, these meaty fleshed tomatoes are ideal for salads or sauces and ideal to serve sliced with mozzarella and basil. Fruit weight 350-700g. Resistant to tomato mosaic virus. Cordon variety.
Growing Information
Pot up, and grow tomato plants on in warm frost free conditions until large enough to plant outdoors. When all risk of frost has passed, gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over a period of 7 to 10 days.
Choose a sheltered position in full sun on fertile, reliably moist, well drained soil, and transplant at a distance of 60cm (24″) apart. Alternatively grow tomatoes in patio bags and containers in good quality compost such as John Innes No. 2. Drive a (5’) cane into the soil adjacent to each plant to support them as they grow, and tie each main stem to its support with soft garden twine.
