Yorkshire flower show using DNA technology to prevent cheating

Posted by Landscape Juice on September 8, 2015 at 8:21am

A flower show is using DNA technology to ensure a £1,000 giant tomato prize is not won by a cheating grower.

Organisers of the Harrogate Autumn Flower Show have responded to competitors’ concerns that an unscrupulous gardener might sneak in a rogue variety of tomato to the championship.

The show is running a Gigantomo class, with a £1,000 top prize sponsored by a mail order plant specialist, which means entries must be from that strain of the plant.
