Overview

A sweet and tangy tasting good cropping red tomato. A fine old variety which has stood the test of time and is still one of the best you can buy for flavour, with a rich, tangy taste that has just the right level of sweetness. Grows outside or under cover, although as it takes its time to develop that mouthwatering flavour results are more reliable in a greenhouse. Sow basil among your tomatoes as a companion plant: the scent deters whitefly and it's handy for harvesting to complement your tomatoes perfectly in Mediterranean cooking. A heritage variety introduced in 1925. Care instructions: Tie in to supports and pinch out the sideshoots as the plant develops. Keep well watered and feed weekly with a tomato feed once the flowers form. Keep water levels in the soil consistent to prevent blossom end rot and split fruit.
