One of the most popular varieties of tomato, ?Shirley? is a home-grower?s favourite and a fantastic, versatile all-rounder, producing bountiful crops of medium-sized, bright red, juicy fruits on large trusses whether grown in an unheated greenhouse or outdoors.
A cordon variety, it will fruit most prolifically when side shoots are pinched out to encourage an upright central stem that requires a support. Each plant will then produce a succession of fruit-laden trusses that ripen from July onwards to give a continuous crop. Easy to grow and with excellent disease resistance, ?Shirley? has a lovely sweet, rich flavour perfect for salads, sandwiches and sauces.
Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure that this is a proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence for a delicious crop of tomatoes.
Supplied as 3 established plants in 9cm pots ready to plant out when the risk of frost has passed, reached 2m (6?ft) in height.
Care Information
- Grow in full sun and water well and consistantly, as drying out can result in cracked skins on the fruit.
- As the plants grow, tie them in to canes for support as they’ll get heavy once the fruit begins to form.
- When there are four or five trusses of flowers, pich out the top of the plant to stop it growing taller. This will concentrate its energy into producing fruit.
