Growing Tips for Red Pear Christmas Tomatoes

Sowing and Transplanting

• Plant outdoors 50 x 80 cm apart after April 15, or under glass

Maintenance and Disease Prevention

• Bury most of the stem when planting to promote strong roots

• Light pruning in northern regions prevents leaves from touching the ground

• Water regularly without wetting foliage

• Use natural remedies like nettle tea, horsetail decoction, or powdered seaweed

• Pur’Mel 3 fertilizer (nettle, comfrey, horsetail) can be applied preventively or against mildew

Harvesting
