- Growing notes
- Grow in full sun with sturdy staking or trellising, train/prune as a cordon where appropriate and support heavy fruiting stems. Maintain consistent moisture. Performs under cover or outdoors in a protected position. Avoid conflating the 1923 open-pollinated Abraham Lincoln with Abraham Lincoln Improved F1, source naming around Early Abraham Lincoln is inconsistent.
