Description

Cordon (Indeterminate). 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 Tomato Sungella which is a cross between Sungold and a larger fruited, orange skinned heirloom favourite. Sungella produces a huge yield of orange skinned, golf ball sized fruits. Each tomato 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, Tomato Sungella grows equally well under glass as it does outside. Grow as a Cordon or Indeterminate.

Sowing Instructions

Sow seeds thinly on the surface of a good free draining, damp seed compost. Lightly cover the seeds with vermiculite 6mm (¼in) deep. Place in a propagator at 18-20C (64-68F) until germination, usually 7-14 days.

Growing Instructions

Transplant seedings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots. Plant in final situation when 20cm (8in) high, 45cm (18in) apart. Remove all side shoots as they appear, leaving one main stem.

Aftercare

FOR INDOOR CROPS Plant finally into growbags or pots in the greenhouse.

FOR OUTDOOR CROPS Acclimatise plants to outdoor conditions for a few days before planting in a sunny, moist, fertile, well drained site. Removal of main growing tip in late summer will hasten ripening.
