Probably the best bush tomato for growth habit and being able to cope with shorter day length this is perfect for all year round growing. Originally raised by W.A. Burpee in America and sold as 'Pixie' we have de-hybridised and stabilised this variety and so now call it 'Shirley's Pixie'.

For conventional Summer production this bush plant will grow to around 3 - 4 feet (90 - 120 cm) tall and produce a heavy crop of fruits just a bit larger than a golf ball.

A mid Summer planting will produce Autumn crops of golf ball sized fruit on a bush plant around 2 - 3 feet (60 - 90 cm) tall.

But the real boon of this variety comes with plants started in September / October time (either from seed or cuttings) - as these will produce nice compact plants around 12" - 18" (30 - 45 cm) tall that will happily grow in a 3 litre pot on your windowsill and produce a crop of tomatoes that we would describe as 'oversized cherry tomatoes'.

Gorgeously sweet fruits with thin skins - and very prolific too.

This is a determinate variety and best grown as a bush.
There is no need to side-shoot though thinning excessive growth to allow light and air in can prove beneficial.
This variety performs well both outside and under protection (though for Autumn / Winter crops protection is essential).

Supplied as a packet of approximately 15 seeds.
