Ideal for patio containers or hanging baskets, this versatile and very productive plant produces a prolific crop of mouth-watering bright red fruits! The sweet yet tangy fruits weigh approximately 15g and a single plant can produce 7-80 fruits by the end of August if seeds are sown in mid April. (Bush variety - very easy to grow as trusses do not require support and fruits without side shoots being removed.)
Tom says: We trial hundreds of new varieties every year in order to make sure only the very best varieties make it into our catalogue. The difference in flavours is incredible - from savoury cooking tomatoes to pure sweetness for snacking and every conceivable flavour combination in between, we have something for every taste bud and growing situation.
