July to October
Small cherry sized, bright red fruits with authentic, old fashioned flavour. Grow outdoors or in the greenhouse.
March to May, in pots or trays on the surface of barely moist seed compost and cover with a sprinkling of finely sieved compost. Place in a propagator at 18-20C until germination, which takes up to 10 days.
Support plant with a stout cane and remove shoots between the leaf axils (sideshoot) regularly. Pick fruits regularly to extend the season.
Add to salads or enjoy as a healthy snack.
