Cherry tomato 'Sungold' F1
Solanum lycopersicum
The world's sweetest tomato, according to several tests, and our favorite at GrowTowers. Suitable for growing in a greenhouse or outdoors in a sheltered position. Rich harvest of thin-skinned and juicy tomatoes. Thrives in nutritious, well-drained soil. Water regularly. The plant needs support. The shoots in the leaf folds, the "thieves", are removed. Lightly brush the flower cluster, this favors fruiting.
Important this is an indeterminate tomato variety. Indeterminates can be grown in a GreenStalk by experienced gardeners, but are not recommended for beginners. We have included Sungold in our assortment for it's good flavour, but if you are not an experienced gardener please choose a smaller determinate tomato for growing in a GreenStalk.
