Description
Cordon.
A heritage selection of 'Ailsa Craig', with a similarly renowned flavour. The round, deep red fruits are non-greenback (free of darker green shoulders) and around 5cm (2") diameter. Grow these indeterminate plants as cordons either under glass or outdoors, to produce heavy crops with a very good flavour. Height: 200cm (79"). Spread: 50cm (20").
Companion planting: Try growing tomatoes with French marigolds to deter whitefly, and basil, chives or mint to deter aphids and other pests.
