Description

Cordon. Early, reliable to ripen, Tomato Roncardo is a large beefsteak tomato, producing large 120-140g (4-5oz) fruits with firm flesh. The flesh has a particularly high sugar content, adding more flavour than other beefsteak varieties.

Sowing Instructions

Sow February to April 6mm (¼in) deep in pots or trays of good, free draining, damp seed compost and cover with a sprinkling of vermiculite or compost. Place in a propagator, or seal container in a polythene bag, at 18-21C (65-70F) until after germination, which takes 7-10 days.

Growing Instructions

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 20cm (8in) high. Can be planted outdoors, 45cm (18in) apart once all frost risk has passed.

Aftercare

Plants require side shooting and support for the best yields. Water and feed plants regularly with a high potash feed once the first truss has set.
