Its balanced growth habit makes it suitable for vegetable gardens, raised beds and large containers, while its reliable yields and full-bodied taste make it a rewarding choice for both beginner and experienced gardeners.
How To Grow:
Plant in rich, well drained soil and water consistently to encourage strong vine growth and healthy fruit production. Support plants with stakes, cages or trellises to keep stems upright and improve airflow around foliage.

Harvest:
Ready in 10-12 weeks. Harvest fruit once fully coloured and slightly soft to the touch for the best flavour and texture.

Full sun in a warm, sheltered location protected from frost.
Soil Type:
Free draining, fertile soil enriched with compost or well aged organic matter.
Growing Tips:
Keep soil evenly moist and avoid overhead watering to help minimise fungal problems. Feed regularly during flowering and fruiting for stronger yields and healthy growth. Harvest regularly to encourage continual production.
Notes:
Excellent fresh in sandwiches, burgers and bruschetta or cooked into rich sauces and slow-simmered dishes. Its deep savoury flavour makes it a versatile tomato for both fresh and cooked meals. Sold as a single seedling from the Howlong Advanced Vegetable Collection.
