This year I'll be mostly growing three to my toes.

1 Sunblush which I think is a Sungold Hybrid as a trial
2 Cuor Di Bue my go to Beefsteak
3 San Marzano as I have a newly acquired need for pizza sauce.

I'd also like to try Pomodorino Corbari - or might be Corbara but, I can't get hold of this tiny regional Italian tomato. It is apparently the go-to liquor for the best San Marzano artisan tomato sauce.

Yeah but they’re all growing at pretty much the same rate, not sure which is supposed to be the main stem. I’m happy to grow a tree  Big Grin .

I go with which ever is straightest normally. I prefer to take out the side shoots as it can get a bit jungle like and hard to spot and support fruit when there’s multi stems. It’s when the fruit stalks start growing new stems at the end I think they are ganging up on me. Smile
