Details: As an indeterminate variety, ‘Sweetie’ benefits from staking or trellising to support vigorous growth and maximise yield.

Fruit develops in large trusses and ripens progressively over a long harvest period.

Harvest: Harvest approximately 65 – 75 days after transplanting. Pick regularly to encourage continuous fruit production.
