There’s no need for blight to threaten your crops, with Tomato 'Crimson Plum' . This is the first blight resistant variety developed specifically for outdoor cropping. Tomato 'Crimson Plum' produces good crops of ‘Roma’ style fruits throughout the summer. The red skinned fruits have a lovely oval shape, with firm, meaty flesh and an intensely rich flavour.
This peat-free, cordon variety is perfect for containers or planters outdoors or in the greenhouse and copes well with periods of wet weather. Height: 200cm (79"). Spread: 50cm (20").
Companion planting: Try growing tomatoes with French marigolds to deter whitefly, and basil, chives or mint to deter aphids and other pests.

3 Peat-Free Postiplug Plants (KF7849)
Water tomato plants frequently, to keep the compost evenly moist. Feed tomatoes regularly with a high potash plant food once the first truss of fruit has formed. Tie the main stems to their supports and remove any sideshoots that develop between the main stem and the leaf stems. Once the plant has produced 6 or 7 trusses, pinch out the top of the main stem. This process of "sideshooting" and "stopping" will increase the availability of light and air movement around the developing fruit, and focus the plants energy on producing a good crop of high quality tomatoes. Tomatoes can be harvested as they ripen from July to September.
