Tomato plants from cuttings (Hatfield AL10)

Variety "Sungold" is my absolute favourite - produces orange/yellow cherry tomato fruits freely and is really really sweet. Always very reliable for me outside (no greenhouse or polytunnel) and never fails to give me a good crop.

These are from side shoots from established plants, which I'm going through the stages of rooting in water and potting up.

Today only sungold available. Talk to me if you're interested in other varieties - I might root one last batch of side shoots if there is interest...

Technically all these pictures are from previous years, but the small plants are representative of what you'd get.

It's said that cuttings fruit much quicker than plants from seeds - about the same time as their parent plant - so these should be absolutely fine [it is too late to start from seed, so don't bother]. They should grow away fast if you keep them in a sunny place, water and pot them into bigger pots as they grow then plant into their final place.

(You can't expect them to fruit well [or at all] if you leave them in the pots you get them in from me by the way. Tomato plants want big root systems.)

Tomatoes are not really troubled by any pests (slugs, squirrels, birds, aphids). They love a nice hot summer like we seem to have this year.
