Growing Information:
Greenhouse/Poly-Tunnel
CULTURE: Much of the acreage of fresh tomatoes in Europe and Asia is grown in controlled-environment greenhouses or informal poly tunnels. Selected varieties enable growers to stretch the harvest season on both ends. Even unheated poly tunnels can ripen tomatoes 3 to 4 weeks earlier than outdoors. We trial varieties from many talented breeders to determine which are best adapted to low-tech systems. All are indeterminate, and must be pruned (1 or 2 main stems) and staked/trellised. MINI: Approx. 20 seeds (unless otherwise noted).
