Black Cherry Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum)
Climbing tomato with multiple wine-red fruits, each barely smaller than a golf ball. Very balanced at the sweet-acid level, this cherry tomato is one of our favorites when eaten fresh, directly from the garden. Its skin is thin and it is very juicy. We found this treasure one day, at a seed company (Antique Edibles), during a trip to Ontario.
MAINTENANCE AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:
Gradually acclimate to outdoor conditions about 10 days before planting by taking them out during the day. When planting, lay the plants horizontally, slightly arching the plant to bring out the leaves upwards.
