Tomato Shirley Turbo Plants
Nice shape and fine quality
Matures early, and crops heavily on short jointed plants. Nicely shaped fruits of fine quality. Resistant to T.M.V, leaf mould, greenback and Fusarium. RHS Award of Garden Merit winner. NEW to our grafted range. Why are they called Turbo? We have taken a selection of our tastiest tomatoes available and grafted them onto an extremely vigorous-growing root stock. New for 2012 - an improved technique for tomato grafting: All Suttons grafted tomato varieties will use a new technique which will lead to even earlier and bigger crops, with fruiting beginning lower on the stem, producing at least one extra fruit truss per plant during the season!
More vigorous and producing larger plants. Have greater resistance to pests and diseases. Have less susceptibility to nutritional disorders. Perform well with less heat in your greenhouse. Yield top quality fruit over a longer period compared to normal plants.
Our trials have shown that grafted plants are incredibly healthy and give rise to larger, strong-growing plants giving bumper yields (as our pictures show!) They'll perfrorm well outside but are particularly recommended for greenhouse growing, where they will fulfill their potential and allow you to get plants off to an early start in spring without paying a fortune on heating your greenhouse.
TESTIMONIAL FROM JOE MAIDEN OF KITCHEN GARDEN MAGAZINE - 'The rapid growth and truss production was exceptional, my own seed-raised tomatoes, which must have been about the same age as the grafted plants, were left well behind. The grafted plants were a great success, especially for earliness and flavour.'
