Tomato Rapunzel
€5.50
Tomato Rapunzel from Thompson & Morgan is an exciting new indeterminate variety that is perfect for greenhouse cultivation. This exceptional tomato plant produces long, cascading trusses, each one laden with up to 40 sweet, bright red cherry tomatoes. The sight of these impressive, glossy red fruits hanging in abundance from the long trusses creates a beautiful and productive display, making it a true standout in any greenhouse.
The fruits of Tomato Rapunzel are not just visually appealing but also deliciously sweet, perfect for snacking, salads, or even adding to your favourite dishes. The compact size of the cherry tomatoes makes them ideal for both fresh consumption and garnishing. Whether eaten raw, roasted, or tossed in a salad, the vibrant red fruits are sure to add a burst of flavour to your meals.
To grow Tomato Rapunzel, sow the seeds indoors in late winter or early spring (January to March), using a seed tray filled with moist, well-drained compost. Keep the tray in a warm spot, ideally around 18-20°C, until the seeds germinate (typically within 7-14 days). Once the seedlings have developed strong roots, gradually harden them off before transferring them to a greenhouse or sheltered outdoor spot after the last frost. Space the plants about 30 cm apart to give them room to grow and spread.
This indeterminate variety will continue to produce tomatoes throughout the growing season, provided it is regularly fed and watered. As the plant grows, ensure to support the long trusses with suitable ties or supports to prevent any damage. Tomato Rapunzel thrives in a greenhouse environment, where temperatures can be controlled, and the plants can benefit from maximum sunlight, ensuring healthy growth and an abundant harvest.
With its unique cascading trusses and sweet cherry tomatoes, Tomato Rapunzel is a fantastic addition to your greenhouse or garden, offering a stunning visual display and a delicious harvest. Perfect for gardeners looking for high yields of tasty tomatoes, this variety brings both beauty and flavour to your growing space.
