Lycopersicon esculentum 'Ailsa Craig'

Plant details

Ailsa Craig' has been a firm favourite with gardeners since it was bred in Scotland back in 1925. This comes as no surprise once you have tasted its flattened, mid-red fruits which have an outsounding flavour. A heavy cropper, it can be grown in the greenhouse or outdoors.
