Description
When it comes to delivering on both flavour and reliability, the "Burnley Bounty" tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) truly lives up to its name. This red, juicy delight has a traditional tomato shape, medium in size, with a skin that's smooth to the touch. Savour its rich, classic tomato taste – a bounty you'll burn-ly be able to resist!
If you're planting this treasure, opt for a premium quality potting mix in large containers or a top-notch soil conditioner for those vege/herb garden plots. Reveling in full sun, make sure to quench its thirst a tad more come Bunuru (late summer) and bestow upon it a tomato-favoured fertiliser during Djilba (early spring) for a bountiful yield. The waiting game? Roughly 70-80 days till you can start reaping your "Burnley Bounty". And with its robust nature, a little staking can go a long way in ensuring your tomatoes are sitting pretty.
