Beef type tomato, up to 750g in weight. Disease resistant, especially to late blight. Unique yellow with red/orange flame colouration on the outside which results in a nicely marbled interior. Meaty flesh with few seeds.Pot up in reliably moist, well-drained soil, grow tomato plants on in warm frost-free conditions until large enough to plant outdoors.Transplant seedlings singly into 7.5cm (3in) pots. Grow on, finally planting into large pots, or direct into a greenhouse border; or outdoors 45cm (18in) apart when the risk of frost has passed. Support with cane and remove side shoots regularly. Feed regularly with tomato food.

Cherrola's long trusses often hold up to 20 well-spaced, dark red fruits weighing on average 20g (¾oz)! The cherry-sized fruits have an excellent balance of sweetness and acidity giving them an outstanding flavour. Tomato Cherrola is suitable for growing outside or under glass. Delicious in salads and sandwiches or eaten straight from the garden as a snack! Early ripening and crops heavily throughout the summer.Place seeds on the surface of a free-draining compost and cover with about 6mm (¼in) of compost or vermiculite. Place in a propagator at 18-21C (65-70F) until after germination which takes 7-10 days.Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots. Plant in the greenhouse in individual large pots, or 3 plants per growbag when 2cm (8in) high. Can be planted outdoors, 45cm (18in) apart once all frost risk has passed.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.

This is the first blight resistant beefsteak variety specifically developed for growing outdoors. The glossy, pinky-red fruits are perfect for slicing into burgers, salads and sandwiches for a delicious taste of summer.Sow seeds on the surface of a good, free-draining, damp, seed compost and cover with a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place seed trays in a propagator around 15-20?C (59-68?F) until after germination which takes 7-14 days.When seedlings gain 2 true leaves, transplant into individual 7.5cm (3in) pots of compost and grow on at 15°C (59°F). When growing in a greenhouse, transplant at the end of May or when the first flowers develop. Allow 3 plants per growbag, or one per 25cm (10in) pot, or plant directly into the greenhouse soil.When growing outdoors gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions over 7 - 10 days before planting out from early June when tomato plants are 20cm (8in) tall. Transplant at a distance of 60cm (24in) apart in a sheltered full sun position. Use canes to support the plants as they grow. Water frequently and feed regularly.

Germination usually takes 6-14 days at 24-27C (75-80F).To grow outside, sow seeds in early spring and grow as above."Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots and plant out into growbags, pots etc when large enough at 45cm (18in) apart. When approx. 2cm (8in) tall gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions and plant out 45cm (18in) Provide support and tie in regularly. Remove side shoots as they appear and restrict the plant to one main stem. Outdoor plants remove growing tip in late summer to hasten ripening.
