Cultivation method:

There Chocolate Cherry Tomato is an indeterminate variety, meaning it will produce fruit all season long, right up until frost. It requires training to support its height and prevent the vines from sagging under the weight of the fruit. Regular pruning will maximize production and keep the plant healthy. Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost for an early and bountiful harvest. Be sure to space plants 18-24 inches apart to ensure good air circulation and avoid excess moisture.

This variety is perfect for those looking for a distinctive cherry tomato, both in flavor and appearance, and suitable for many culinary uses.
