Lycopersicon esculentum 'Marmande'

Tomatoes, Lycoperiscon esculentum, are a favourite summer crop for greenhouses. There are hundreds of varieties to choose from, with fruit coming in a range of shapes, sizes and colours. Tall or indeterminate varieties make the best use of space, and are trained as single-stemmed cordons on wires or canes up the inside of the greenhouse. Bush varieties don't need staking and are suitable for growing in pots, some even in hanging baskets. Some varieties are suitable for growing outside, particularly in southern regions.
