(Cordon)

'The King of Golden Cherries'. Tomato Golden Cherry is a sister variety to the ever popular Tomato Sungold, producing a very heavy crop of delicious sweet cherry tomatoes. Fruits have thin skins and resist cracking, so they can remain on the vine for even longer. If you love Tomato Sungold this variety really is worth a try.

Sowing Instructions

Sow February to April. Sow seeds 6mm (¼in) deep in pots or trays of good, free draining, damp seed compost and cover with a sprinkling of vermiculite or compost. Place in a propagator, or seal container in a polythene bag, at 18-21C (65-70F) until after germination, which takes 7-10 days.

Growing Instructions

Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots. Plant in the greenhouse in individual large pots, or 3 plants per growbag when 20cm ( 8in) high. Can be planted outdoors, 45cm (18in) apart once all frost risk has passed.

Aftercare

Plants require side shooting and support for the best yields. Water and feed plants regularly with a high potash feed once the first truss has set.
