Tomato 'Ailsa Craig' is a popular heirloom variety known for its large, juicy, and flavourful fruits. The variety was first developed on the Scottish island of Ailsa Craig in the early 1900s and has since become a favourite among home gardeners and chefs alike.
The fruits of 'Ailsa Craig' are typically round and medium-sized. They have a rich, sweet flavour and a firm, meaty texture that makes them ideal for slicing and using in sandwiches, salads, and other dishes.
'Ailsa Craig' is a cordon variety, meaning they continue to grow and produce fruit throughout the growing season. They are vigorous growers and can reach up to 1.8m tall, so staking or caging is recommended to keep the plants upright and prevent the fruits from touching the ground.
'Ailsa Craig' is a relatively easy tomato variety to grow and is well-suited for home gardens. It prefers full sun and well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. The plants should be watered regularly to keep the soil moist, but care should be taken to avoid getting the foliage wet to prevent disease.
