Description

Superb outdoor cordon variety perfect for growing in British, in different summers. Early to ripen first trusses with an average of 8 round, deep red fruits up to 140g (5oz) each per truss. The firm, well-flavoured fruits resist splitting and are ideal for slicing.

Sowing Instructions

Sow seed on the surface of a free-draining compost and cover with about 6mm (1/4in) of compost or vermiculite. Place in a propagator at 18-21C (65-70F) until after germination which takes 7-10 days.

Growing Instructions

Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots. Plant outdoors, 45cm (18in) apart once all frost risk has passed, or plant in the greenhouse in individual large pots, or 3 plants per growbag when 20cm (8in) high. Plants require sideshooting and support for the best yields. Water and feed plants regularly with a high potash feed once the first truss has set.
