Tomato Alicante is a time-tested heirloom variety known for its vigorous growth, excellent fruit set, and outstanding taste. This indeterminate (cordon) type produces a steady supply of round, juicy tomatoes with a well-balanced sweet and tangy flavour, ideal for slicing, salads, or sauces.
Suitable for both beginners and seasoned growers, Alicante thrives in a sunny, sheltered spot or greenhouse. It matures early and continues to produce throughout the summer. The plants benefit from regular side-shooting and staking for best results.
