Tomato Xandor F1

Tomato Xandor F1 is a premium indeterminate greenhouse tomato bred to produce outstanding yields of smooth, deep red fruits with exceptional quality and presentation. Combining vigorous growth, excellent productivity and attractive, uniform tomatoes, this modern F1 hybrid is ideal for greenhouse growers, allotment enthusiasts and exhibition competitors alike. Its combination of superb appearance, dependable cropping and excellent storage qualities makes it an outstanding addition to any tomato collection.

The plants produce strong, healthy growth with jointless trusses carrying beautifully round fruits that ripen evenly to a rich, glossy red colour. Each tomato is complemented by a neat, dark green calyx which enhances its presentation, particularly for exhibition growers and those harvesting complete trusses. The fruits typically weigh 125–150 gramswhen trusses are thinned to six tomatoes, providing an ideal size for slicing, salads and general kitchen use.

One of the outstanding characteristics of Tomato Xandor F1 is its excellent shelf life. The firm fruits maintain their quality well after harvesting without compromising flavour or texture. Their smooth skins and uniform shape provide an attractive finish whether displayed on the kitchen worktop, harvested for local markets or prepared for horticultural shows. The strong calyx remains fresh and tidy, adding further visual appeal.

As an indeterminate (cordon) variety, Tomato Xandor F1 continues producing flowering trusses throughout the growing season. The vigorous plants crop heavily from mid-summer until the first autumn frosts, rewarding regular feeding and careful watering with abundant harvests. Greenhouse cultivation provides the most reliable results, although plants also perform well in polytunnels and other protected environments.

The fruits possess a rich, traditional tomato flavour with firm, juicy flesh that makes them suitable for a wide range of culinary uses. They are excellent sliced into sandwiches, added to fresh salads, roasted whole or incorporated into sauces and Mediterranean dishes. Their balanced flavour and attractive appearance make them equally suited to everyday family meals and special occasions.

For exhibition growers, Tomato Xandor F1 offers exceptional potential. The naturally uniform fruits, attractive calyx and excellent symmetry make it particularly well suited to competitive showing. Pruning each truss to six fruits allows the remaining tomatoes to develop maximum size, shape and consistency, producing displays that meet the exacting standards expected on the show bench.

Sowing & Propagation

Sow Tomato Xandor F1 during January and February in a heated propagator or greenhouse using clean seed compost. Sow seeds approximately 5 mm deep and maintain a temperature of around 22°C.

Seedlings usually emerge within 7 to 14 days. Once the first true leaves have developed, transplant individually into small pots and continue growing at approximately 18°C in bright conditions. Harden plants off before planting into greenhouse borders, grow bags or large containers after the danger of frost has passed.

Growing On

Grow Tomato Xandor F1 as an indeterminate cordon variety, supporting each plant with strong canes or greenhouse strings. Remove side shoots regularly to maintain a single stem and encourage maximum fruit production.

Plant into fertile greenhouse soil enriched with organic matter wherever possible. Apply a balanced fertiliser before planting and feed regularly with a high-potash tomato fertiliser once the first fruits begin to develop. Water consistently to prevent fluctuations in soil moisture and maintain good ventilation throughout the greenhouse.

For exhibition-quality fruits, thin each truss to six tomatoes, allowing the remaining fruits to develop optimum size, shape and uniformity.

Harvesting

Harvest Tomato Xandor F1 from July until October, once the fruits have developed a rich deep red colour and feel slightly soft when gently pressed.

Harvest individual fruits as required or cut complete trusses for an attractive presentation. Thanks to their excellent shelf life, harvested tomatoes remain in superb condition for an extended period while retaining their excellent flavour and texture.
