Early Easter boost for tomato plants
The early Easter only provided a boost for tomato plant sales as overall plants were volumes down 40% on the last week of March 2017.
Even if you take into account the lost sales time for Easter Sunday closing that still represents a drop of around 25% in real terms.
Highlights:
- Tomato plants increased sales by over 50% to move up to the No 2 Bestselling plant.
- Young bedding geranium (pelargoniums) plants moved up two places to No 4.
All Plants volume sales change: Week on week UP 10.6%. Year to date DOWN 22.1% on 2017.
