Description
Mini Coco is a compact determinate small fruited F1 Variety that produces unique burgundy coloured fruit that is deliciously sweet. Fruit is round in shape and small 1-3cm in diameter.
Choose a position that gets at least 5 hours or more of full sun every day, although full sun all day is preferred. Also try to choose a spot that is not too windy, or else you will have to provide some sort of windbreak.
Before planting, dig in generous amounts of cow manure, a light sprinkle of fruit n citrus fertiliser and a handful of lime every square metre.
If planting into a pot its best to use a premium potting such as Terracotta n Tub.
Never let the soil dry out, especially during flowering and fruiting stages. This could cause fruit & flower drop, blossom end rot and a stressed plant that will be more susceptible to disease. To avoid fungal problems and disease water the soil and not the leaves. If watering overhead is unavoidable, do it in the morning to allow foliage to dry before night fall.
Obviously if it is hot and windy, then the plants will need watering more frequently. For plants grown in pots, you will need to check the watering more often. In hot conditions you may need to water the pots two or three times a day.
Tomatoes are gross feeders! Liquid feed them minimum fortnightly with a seaweed product such as Maxicrop fertiliser . This helps with disease resistance, root, flowers and fruit formation. When first flowers appear, apply a handful of fruit n citrus fertiliser to the soil.
