- Heavy cropping and almost seedless, this is a very reliable tomato to grow
- Grow in a greenhouse or outdoors in a sunny, sheltered border, allotment, raised bed or pots
- Deep red, elongated tomatoes with a rich, intense flavour that's ideal for cooking or juicing
- Plant out after the last frosts have passed and harvest from July to September or beyond. Can be grown as a cordon or bush tomato depending on your preference
- Premium tomato plants in 8.5cm pots, grown on a family run farm in Lancashire and sent to you at the best possible time for planting
