Cherry Tomato - Black Cherry

£3.00

Solanum lycopersicum - approximately 25 seeds.

 

A very productive climbing cherry tomato which performed really well in our trials, we were particularly impressed with the large trusses laden with delicious dark red almost purple tomatoes.  The fruits are juicy with a rich, sweet and complex flavour.  They make a great addition to a salad if they make it that far.

 

 

 

 

Growing Info

Tomatoes will do best when grown undercover in Scotland.  Sow indoors into small pots or seed flats using a heated propagator or sunny window sill in Feb/March, April can also work well.  Transplant into larger pots once true leaves emerge.  Aim to transplant into final growing location after the last frost.

TIP:  Tomato plants can produce roots from their stems when in contact with the soil so when transplanting, do so nice and deep, this will help to grow sturdy healthy plants.
