Quick note to say plants arrived safely yesterday, are already potted up and basking in the greenhouse. I've had to purchase my tomatoes online for yrs, never been wholly satisfied with them when they arrived - usually spindly things that need a lot of faffing to get going. But these are amazing! At last, found a decent seller! Thank you. Kind regards.

Despite its name, we can sadly see no link to any of our ancestors being involved in the breeding of this excellent greenhouse tomato variety.

'Shirley' always produces a heavy crop of uniform fruits that are everything a tomato should be - good colour, meaty, juicy and very flavoursome! No wonder this is now regarded the UK amateur's favourite greenhouse variety (it will do just as well in a polytunnel or similar).

Very early into cropping, it just seems to go on and on. Very reliable and with good disease resistance too.

  • This is an indeterminate variety and best grown as a cordon (vine).
  • For best yields stop at 5th truss.
  • Suitable for protected growing only.
