Victoria Smile
Recent variety from Mark McCaslin, USA. Potato leaf plants with strong development and heavy cropping. Fruits are piriform, slightly ribbed, tricolour, and striped, with firm flesh which keep for a long time on the counter. They have a complex, fruity flavour with tangy notes and plenty of sweetness. A versatile tomato which is great sliced and in salads, and equally useful as a sauce tomato.
Indeterminate, potato leaf, mid-late 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
