Tomato Sungella

A new larger fruited Sungold - Very heavy cropper - As uniform as a Hybrid! - Delicious sweet flavour. T&M are delighted to bring you a real breakthrough in Tomatoes. A dedicated T&M customer from Norfolk, spent several years in breeding this cross between Sungold and a larger fruited, orange skinned heirloom favourite. Sungella produces a huge yield of orange skinned, golf ball sized fruits. Each fruit has a sweet juicy taste, with low acidity, as you would expect from its parentage. Long trusses with masses of hybrid quality fruit, ideal for a complete season's picking. Like its parents it grows equally well under glass as it does outside. Grow as a Cordon or Indeterminate.

Tomato Sungold

An excellent new tomato for glasshouse or outdoor culture to provide lots of deliciously different fruit for salads etc. With their exceptional and very high sugar content (it definitely rivals 'Gardeners Delight') these attractive golden orange, approx. 13 gram, fruit are irresistible with a sweet flavour all their own -almost a dessert fruit! Sungold crops well and has resistance to Tobacco Mosaic Virus and Fusarium to ensure healthy plants.
