Tomato 'Honeycomb'

Common name: Tomato 'Honeycomb'

Description: Honeycomb is a cheerful cherry tomato variety producing long trusses of small, golden-yellow fruits with an exceptionally sweet, fruity flavour. The bite-sized fruits are produced in abundance throughout the season, making it a highly rewarding variety for home growers. Its compact, bushy habit makes it well suited to container growing on patios and in greenhouses, as well as in the open border in a warm, sheltered position. The golden fruits add striking colour to summer salads and are a favourite with children.
