The Small Red Cherry Tomato is a classic pre-1840 heirloom that produces sweet, juicy, slightly tangy, globe-shaped fruits measuring about 0.5–0.75 inch across. Sweeter than the larger “Large Red Cherry” variety, this indeterminate vine grows continuously and bears clusters of fruit, so it benefits from staking or caging. It also tolerates high temperatures well and offers strong resistance to fruitworms. Excellent for fresh snacking, salads, preserves, and pickling.
Germination: 7–14 days
Maturity: 55–70 days after Transplanting
Genus: Solanum lycopersicum
Quantity: 20 Premium Heirloom Seeds
Appearance: Smooth, round, bite-sized red tomatoes measure about 0.5–0.75 inch across and grow in clusters.
Flavor & Uses: Exceptionally sweet, juicy, and slightly tangy—ideal for snacking, salads, preserves, and pickling.
Growth Habit: Vigorous indeterminate vines grow continuously and produce abundant fruit clusters throughout the season. Provide stakes or cages for support.
Growing Notes: Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost. After frost, transplant 18–24 inches apart in full sun and rich, well-draining soil. Water at the base without overwatering.
Harvest Note: Pick tomatoes when they are fully red, firm, and easy to remove from the vine. Harvest regularly to encourage continued production.
