FAQ’s
Bush or Cordon, what does that mean?
The term “bush or determinate” and “cordon or indeterminate” tomatoes. This is a reference to how the plants grow. In general bush or determinate tomatoes need far less pruning (sometimes need none) whereas a cordon or indeterminate tomato will need encouragement to grow with the correct habit to maximize the crop in the UK.
Is this plant "garden ready"
No, Tomato plug plants need to be potted up and can not go outside until at least mid-May in the UK
What is a plug plant/starter plant?
A plug plant is a small starter plant that is perfect to pot up into a larger plant. We grow and sell so many of these because they allow us to do it for such a good price.
