3 or 6 Tomato Consuelo Plants – High Yield Sweet Cherry Tomato
Bring exceptional flavour to your garden with this pack of three Tomato Consuelo plants, supplied in 1 litre root balls and ready to plant out. Consuelo is a highly productive cherry tomato variety prized for its sweet, rich taste and attractive dark red-brown, elongated fruits. Each truss produces generous clusters of bite-sized tomatoes that are perfect for snacking straight from the vine, tossing into salads, or roasting for a deeper, caramelised flavour.
This indeterminate (cordon) variety grows vigorously and benefits from support with a stake or string. Regular side-shooting and feeding will encourage a long, plentiful harvest throughout the summer months. Consuelo performs well in greenhouses, polytunnels, or in a warm, sheltered spot outdoors. With three established plants in this pack, you can look forward to an abundant supply of delicious cherry tomatoes from midsummer right through to autumn.
