Tomato - Truss

Common Name: Truss Tomato

Description:
Tomato 'Truss' is a versatile, high-yielding tomato variety known for producing clusters of medium to large, deep red, juicy fruits with a rich, well-balanced flavour. These tomatoes grow in bunches (or trusses) along the vine, making them easy to harvest and ideal for salads, cooking, and fresh eating. Thriving in Melbourne’s climate, 'Truss' tomatoes prefer well-drained soil, full sun, and regular watering. This indeterminate variety requires staking or caging for support as it grows tall and continues producing fruit over an extended season. It is disease-resistant, fast-growing, and a favourite among home gardeners looking for a reliable and flavoursome crop.
