Description

Bitter-free and resistant to Cladosporium and Mosaic Virus. Suitable for fine plucking which encourages the continual production of new fruits. Produces spiny fruits. Sow in a greenhouse in seed trays. Later carefully prick out. Alternatively, sow directly in pots of approx. 8 cm with 2 to 3 seeds per pot. After germination keep 1 plant per pot. This produces stronger plants. As soon as the plants have 2 true leaves, transplant after mid May to a sheltered, sunny spot away from the wind. Can also be cultivated on lines.
