Growing Tips:
Plant outdoors in a warm, sheltered position once all risk of frost has passed. Provide sturdy support such as a stake or cage, as this indeterminate variety will continue to grow and produce fruit throughout the season. Water regularly at the base of the plant, keeping foliage dry where possible. Feed with a high-potash tomato fertiliser once the first truss of fruit begins to set. Pinch out side shoots regularly to encourage larger fruits and better air circulation.
