An alternative to Juliet, the Verona tomato produces an abundance of rich, sweet grape-type fruits that boast a meaty texture and low acidity. Ideal for fresh eating or roasting, these tomatoes thrive in heavy clusters, developing on vigorous plants that reach impressive heights. With their crack-resistant skin, they are perfect for gardeners looking for a reliable variety.

Yield: Expect generous clusters of fruit throughout the season, providing ample harvest for a variety of uses.
Taste: Rich, sweet flavour with a meaty texture, perfect for fresh eating.
How to use: Excellent for salads, roasting, or snacking straight from the vine.
Planting tips: Sow seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost date, or direct sow outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Prefers full sun and well-drained soil with consistent moisture.
