9 new tomatoes to try

‘Crimson Crush’

Produces lots of large, tasty fruit and has good blight resistance. Bred for outdoor growing; plants need staking, pinching out and tying in to make sure they are well supported. ‘Giulietta’ F1

A large Italian-style plum tomato that produces lots of generous, juicy fruit and offers good disease resistance. Equally suited to growing in a greenhouse or in a sunny, sheltered location outdoors. ‘Cherry Baby’

Introduced in 2016. With ample sweet, red, cherry-sized tomatoes, it puts on a good show in a large container on a sunny patio. Needs support as plants are large and bushy at 5ft/1.5m (H&S). ‘Reisetomate’

A rare variety; each fruit is made up of a cluster of cherry-sized tomatoes that are fused together. Popular as a snacking tomato as you can pull off pieces to eat on the go. Best for greenhouse growing. ‘Montello’ F1

An attractive bush-type plum tomato that gives great results when grown in baskets and tubs, or in borders. The long trailing stems are populated by medium-sized fruit – and lots of them. ‘Yellow Pear’

An heirloom, pear-shaped tomato, ideal as a cordon. Golden-yellow fruits are slightly larger than the usual cherry and form in clusters, fruits are sweet and juicy – and perfect for salads. ‘Shimmer’

Launched in 2018, this is a highly prolific variety, boasting around 350 fruits in a season. Slightly larger than a cherry tomato, the colourful fruit look fantastic in salads and the flavour won’t disappoint. ‘Artisan Pink Tiger’

Plum-shaped but cherry-sized, this beautiful tomato combines a sweet flavour with firm flesh and striped skin. Bred to resist cracking, it’s equally good for outdoor or greenhouse growing. ‘Consuelo’

New blight-resistant variety with fruits the size of large cherries; good for growing outside or in an unheated greenhouse. Grown under cover, it will crop from July right through until November.
