GRAFTED TOMATO ‘SUGAR PLUM RAISIN’ F1
Grafted for earlier cropping, this new and exclusive cherry tomato from Dobies’ Rob Smith range is a revolution in tomato breeding. You can either eat it straight from the vine or let it dry out naturally; each fruit remains on the stem to pick later for a sun-dried, sweet taste! Its sweetness level is very high, and only gets sweeter as the fruit ages. This gourmet tomato is harvested in late summer into autumn. When dried, store in jars of olive oil for year-round use. ‘Grow in a pot in the greenhouse or on the patio in full sun, keeping evenly moist and fed with tomato fertiliser every fortnight. Rob says: “They taste amazing fresh, and the fact they dry is just a great bonus. The fruit doesn’t crack or drop from the plant – go away on holiday and you’ll come back to a naturally ‘sun-dried’ crop!”
