Description

The Large Red Cherry Tomato, scientifically known as Solanum lycopersicum, is a cultivar celebrated for its prolific production and delightful taste. Originating from North America, this variety is revered among gardeners for its robust growth, sweet flavor, and versatility in culinary applications. This tomato plant showcases a determinate growth pattern, typically reaching heights of about 4-6 feet. Its appearance boasts a compact and bushy form, adorned with dark green foliage that provides a lush backdrop for the vibrant fruits. The tomatoes themselves are round, cherry-sized, and, as the name suggests, have a striking deep red hue that adds visual appeal to the garden.

Provide strong light and avoid keeping the root zone continuously saturated. Use the recorded spacing and add support if the growth habit requires it. Check fruit as it changes color and firmness, then harvest at the stage suited to its intended kitchen use. Seasonal conditions can shift actual maturity.

Planting & Care

Soil & Water: Tomatoes love fertile soil rich in organic matter. Add plenty of compost prior to planting. Soil pH is preferred between 5.5-7.0. Mulch to preserve moisture. Avoid wetting the foliage when watering.

Planting & Growing: Sow seeds in flats 6-8 weeks before the last frost and thin to 2" apart after the first true leaves appear. Before transplanting after the last frost, harden off the plants by placing them outdoors for a few hours to start, increasing the amount of time each day until they are accustomed to a full day of sunlight.

Harvesting & Storage: Harvest when fruits give slightly under finger pressure; the shoulders may not have changed color yet.
