Tomato, Plum, 'Celano', F1 Hybrid

Germination

Sow indoors. Sow seeds onto moist well-drained seed compost and just cover with soil. Propagate with gentle heat. Germination takes 7-14 days. When seedlings have 2 true leaves transplant to 8cm pots, min temp. 15°C. Acclimatise and plant out once danger of frost has passed. Plant into large containers or 1 per grow bag or with 90cm spacing. If sowing in an unheated greenhouse follow the same process but delay planting until Mar/Apr.

Growing

Easy to grow, keep soil moist, feed with a high potash plant food once fruit appears. Grow outside or in a greenhouse. This is a semi-bush variety so does not require the removal of sideshoots. The plant can be quite vigorous and may require staking or trimming to keep under control.

Cultivation

Simply harvest fruits as they ripen. When the harvest is complete pull and compost the spent plant.
