Produces solid crops of ‘Roma’ style tomato fruits right through the summer months, where it’s red skin and full, rich flavoursome flesh will be able to be appreciated and eaten fresh or in salads. Suited for growing in patio pots, due to being a grafted cordon variety, as well as tolerating wet weather very well. Height: 200cm (79″). Spread: 50cm (20″).
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.
