Combines a habit that makes it perfect for growing in patio containers and hanging baskets, with a taste that is simply the best! The cherry-sized orange/red fruit are produced in profusion throughout summer.
(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.
