About Small-Fruited Tomatoes
These varieties are generally vigorous growing and productive. They vary in size from 1 to 1-1/2 inches in diameter and are usually suitable for pruning. Production per plant is very high, to the point that picking may become tedious. Whole clusters may sometimes be picked at one time to speed the harvest. Splitting seems to be more of a problem with cherries, though newer hybrids have attempted to lessen the problem. These types are usually described as especially sweet and tasty
Indeterminate
The vines grow indefinitely with the vine producing new shoots & blossoms even after fruit set. Plants can grow quite tall in warmer climates with fruit production last well into the end of summer.
Growing Tips
This is an indeterminate tomato variety, so it needs to be staked or caged. Tomatoes should be planted outside after the last average frost date. The plants prefer well drained soil that is high in organic matter. In order to produce good yields, the plants need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day and regular watering. Fertilize about every six weeks with a good fertilizer (we recommend worm castings if available).
