As far as I know various growers on the allotment site have taken cuttings at various times of the year and kept this show variety going. They all have heated greenhouses. I only know this because I spotted someone scuttling between greenhouses recently with small potted tomato plants and mentioned that I felt it was a bit late for planting! Its amazing what these showmen will get up to, to keep a show winning strain!
