  • Latah Tomatoes

    This is the first year I have grown Latah's and have been trying to find out how much room to leave for each bush.
    But all I've found is that its a “Sprawling bush” any idea's
    Remember If you want to test the depth of the water .........don't use both feet !

    I grew these last year.

    I thought they were cordon type plants not bush types.
    Some of them got pretty tall.

      They are listed as "Bush Type"

      Latah (Super-early Salad type)
      This is the one for your earliest crop. It might just be the best early tomato ever. It’s a super-early variety that tolerates short or cool summers, covered in 1" spherical red fruit on a sprawling bush.

      Latah is our most popular bush tomato, and it really is remarkable. The leaves are very far-spaced on the stem - the plants look a bit odd – and this lets in more light to reach the fruit so they ripen even earlier.

      The plants are quite untidy. To be honest, you can't really train them or support them in any way – but if you let them get on with it they really will make ripe tasty tomatoes earlier than you thought possible. Fantastic flavour, balanced acid and sweetness, this is just great raw, & nice cooked too.

      Absurdly early red tomato. Sprawling bush.

        Of course the people who sold the seeds know best.

            There's the original "Latah" bush and also a Vine type Latah following a cross with another variety by the Real seeds people. Breeding your own vegetables


            The bush Latah grew to about 20 ish inches for me.
            Jiving on down to the beach to see the blue and the gray, seems to be all and it's rosy-it's a beautiful day!

              It is the bush Latah I have and it was from the realseeds people, hopefully they will get back to me but they are only in the office twice a week.

              Was yours 20 inches high or spread

                For anyone else who may be interested the realseeds.co.uk company say "They take up around 2 1/2 to 3 foot for each plant"
