Tomato Molten Lava

Description

A new and completely exclusive introduction to the world of tomatoes! This fabulous hybrid has been produced at Plant World by crossing the wild, primitive Tomato peruvianum with one of the Indigo Black varieties. The result is a sizeable, black-skinned, plum-shaped fruit, with unique yellow and red fangs of fire vividly displayed at the end. It has inherited the thick, strong black skin of the Indigo parent, whilst also displaying the unique markings of its other extremely rare and quite bizarre parent! The firm flesh has a brand new, strong distinctive flavour. You might inevitably also produce some unusual new plants, and incredible new forms have been predicted by another accomplished tomato breeder!.... So if you are lucky please send us your pictures of any exciting variants you might produce!

Sowing Advice

Cover seeds only slightly. Do not allow the soil to dry out. Containers are held in warm conditions until sprouts appear, which may take 3-10 days. Move sprouting plantings immediately to bright light conditions, eg a window. Inadequate light is a frequent cause of failure of young seedlings. Around time of last frost, set seedlings into pots. Remove side-shoots and support the plant.
