A quintessential favourite for the greenhouse, Tomato Shirley is celebrated for its exceptional reliability and heavy yields of high-quality fruit. This prolific variety produces uniform, medium-sized salad tomatoes with a smooth, deep red skin and a classic, balanced flavour. The sensory experience of a greenhouse filled with Shirley is unmatched, with the nostalgic, earthy scent of healthy tomato vines and the sight of pendulous trusses ripening in the summer sun.
Our Tomato Shirley 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 and lush, deep green foliage.
