Thompson & Morgan Tomato Grafted Buffalosteak 9Cm Potted Plant X 1 Peat Free from B&Q

Thompson & Morgan

Harvest your own delicious homegrown tomatoes! Tomato ‘Buffalo Steak’ has it all, producing large, bright red fruits with a sun-warmed, old-fashioned flavour and rich, meaty flesh. Grafted plants mean bigger crops – top fruiting varieties are grafted onto more vigorous rootstocks to produce the best possible crops over a longer period, and this vigorous cordon variety starts producing crops earlier than other beefsteak tomatoes. Cropping continues for months on end, keeping you well supplied with flavoursome fruits throughout summer – perfect for slicing into sandwiches and burgers. This variety is perfect for containers or planters in the greenhouse or on the patio and can also be planted in a sunny spot in the garden.Pot up and grow tomato plants on in warm frost-free conditions until large enough to plant outdoors. When all risk of frost has passed, gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over a period of 7 to 10 days. Choose a sheltered position in full sun on fertile, reliably moist, well-drained soil, and transplant at a distance of 60cm (24") apart. Alternatively grow tomatoes in patio bags and containers in good quality compost such as John Innes No. 2. Drive a (5’) cane into the soil adjacent to each plant to support them as they grow and tie each main stem to its support with soft garden twine. Companion planting: Try growing tomatoes with French marigolds to deter whitefly, and basil, chives or mint to deter aphids and other pests.Please note: This product cannot be delivered outside the United Kingdom.Product specifications:Position: Full SunHeight: Up to 200cm when fully establishedSpread: Up to 50cm when fully establishedHarvest period: July to OctoberImages shown are for guidance only of the expected results from plants upon maturity.
