Take a look at some of the frequently asked questions we receive from those looking to buy Plum Tomato Plants in the UK. You can contact our Customer Service Team or browse our general FAQs for further advice.
Plum tomato plants should be started indoors between February and April and transplanted outdoors from late May to June, once the risk of frost has passed. If buying young plants, they can be planted directly into beds, containers, or grow bags when daytime temperatures consistently exceed 10°C.
Plum tomatoes grow best in a sunny, sheltered spot with fertile, well-drained soil. Prepare the soil by adding compost or well-rotted manure before planting. Space plants 45-60cm apart and provide support with stakes or cages to encourage upright growth. If planting in containers, choose a pot at least 30cm deep with good drainage. Regular watering and feeding with a high-potassium fertilizer will promote healthy fruit development.
Plum tomato plants typically take around 8-12 weeks from planting to start producing fruit. Once they begin fruiting, they will continue to yield plump, meaty tomatoes throughout the summer. Regular harvesting encourages further production.
Plum tomatoes are ideal for cooking, making sauces, soups, and pastes due to their firm texture and low water content. Growing your own ensures fresh, flavourful tomatoes free from pesticides and artificial ripening. They are also highly productive and easy to grow, making them a great choice for home gardeners.
Plum tomato plants can be grown in garden beds, raised beds, greenhouses, or large containers. They require full sun and warm conditions to thrive. In cooler regions, growing them in a greenhouse or polytunnel can extend the growing season and improve yields.
