Aurora (Early sauce type)

This variety comes originally from Siberia, so as well as fruiting very early, it also germinates well at low temperatures. 

It make just loads of round red tomatoes with thick flesh, & is particularly good for cooking down into a rich sauce – everyone here takes home the tomatoes after deseeding them and freezes them for use overwinter.

The medium-large bushes don’t sprawl too much but do need a little bit of support – perhaps a 3ft cane to tie it to. Good juicy fruit, with an excellent flavour.
