Description

Indeterminate/Cordon. You will adore this blackish-purple skinned, cherry tomato with dark red flesh and a sweet and juicy flavour. Tomato Black Cherry produces sweet and juicy fruits in abundance throughout the summer.

Ideal for greenhouse growing, or outdoors in a sunny spot.

Sowing Instructions

Sow February to April. Sow seeds 3-4mm (⅛in) deep in pots or trays of good, free-draining, damp seed compost and cover with a sprinkling of vermiculite or compost. Place containers in a propagator, or seal in a polythene bag, at a temperature of 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 sideshooting and support for the best yields. Water and feed plants regularly with a high potash feed once the first truss has set.

Kitchen Notes

Makes an attractive addition to salads.
