A medium early hybrid variety that produces very high yields of big Italian plum tomatoes, ‘Giulietta’ has been adapted to tolerate the cool UK climate. Long bundles of extended plum tomatoes growing to 10-12cm in length, with a perfect taste for tomato sauces. Great resistance to disease. Height: 1.8m (6’). 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.
