Description: Indeterminate. An outstanding tall growing, heavy cropping, tender skinned, orange cherry tomato from the Henry Harrington Southland collection. They are deep orange when ripe and again, this is a colour of tomato that has a high nutritional value. It is obviously adapted for southern conditions having come from Southland, however in a very hot summer it did very well here too.

Planting Instructions: Plant into trays late September and prick out when first leaves appear at 3cm diagonal spacing. Handle touching the leaves only. When leaves touch, transplant into 10cm deep pots or trays to 10cm diagonal spacing. When 10-15cm high transplant into garden 50cm spacings in rows. Two rows per 1m wide bed. Needs staking.
