Sunny Truffle

£4.25

A Sofia Saakova selection, producing vigorous vines with big trusses of midsize pear/truffle shaped fruits, with slight ribbing at the top. There are honey-sweet and delicious for fresh eating.

Indeterminate, regular wispy leaf, mid season

Indeterminate plants are vigorous plants with a vining tendency.  They set their fruits at intervals along their stems, and will readily grow side shoots and suckers (shoots from ground level).  They need good, strong support, and it is advisable to remove the majority of the side shoots and suckers unless you have plenty of space and fertile soil to allow them to grow to their full potential.  See the guide on pruning indeterminates in the resources section of the website for tips. 

Sow Jan-April indoors

10-15 open-pollinated seeds
