Our favourite greenhouse tomato with heavy yields of medium sized fruits with excellent flavour. The plants are short-jointed, vigorous and offer good disease resistance - all in all an outstanding hybrid. Indeterminate type suitable for growing indoors. Almost too well known to need an introduction, our love affair with tomatoes has never been stronger. Tomatoes come in all shapes and sizes and there is always a space for a few varieties, whether indoors in the greenhouse, outside in the garden or on the patio. Following the success of us introducing 9cm potted plants into our pepper range, we have decided to take away the hard work when growing tomatoes too. We will sow the seed, nurture the seedlings and pot them on so that you will receive large 9cm potted plants ready for planting into growbags, greenhouse borders, outside or into baskets.

Today almost all commercial tomato production in Europe is done using grafted plants; you too can do what the professionals do! Some varieties can reach 3m tall given the space! Earlier crops, heavier crops, longer cropping periods and much more.
Supplied as well established plants in 9cm pots in either Determinate (bush) or Indeterminate (vine) form.
Determinate tomatoes (also known as Bush tomatoes). The plants are smaller (up to 90cm/3ft tall) and rather compact, can be grown with or without support. Removing side-shoots from determinate tomatoes is not recommended. They produce early, one large crop of fruit in a short period of time (2-3 weeks).
Indeterminate tomatoes (also known as Vine or Cordon tomatoes). The tall plants (up to 3m/10ft if left unstopped) keep growing and producing tomatoes over long period of time, until frost kills the vine. The plants require staking, tying and side shoot pinching.
Please note – do not remove the plastic grafting clip. It will fall off naturally as the plant grows.
