A quintessential choice for the English kitchen garden, Tomato Alicante is celebrated for its exceptional reliability and classic appeal. This traditional salad variety produces uniform, medium-sized fruits with a smooth, deep red skin that offers a nostalgic sensory experience, capturing the true essence of summer. The bright, glossy fruits are a beautiful sight against the backdrop of healthy green foliage, bringing a sense of productive charm to any sunny garden spot.
Our Tomato Alicante plants are delivered as a set of three well-established specimens in 10.5cm pots, ensuring they arrive garden-ready with a robust root system. As an indeterminate (cordon) variety, they feature a vigorous upright growth habit, making them an excellent choice for maximizing vertical space in a greenhouse or sheltered border. Grown with care, these plants settle quickly and perform dependably, promising a heavy crop of sun-ripened, flavourful tomatoes that are perfect for everything from fresh salads to home-cooked dishes.
