Organic 'Sugar Cherry' Cherry Tomato Seeds (Solanum lycopersicum). Sugar Cherry is an open-pollinated heirloom tomato certified organic by Ecocert Canada. Gaia describes it as intensely sweet and flavourful. Its tiny red cherry tomatoes can reach approximately 1 inch, a convenient size for snacks, salads, and skewers. The plant is indeterminate and can reach 6 to 8 feet, so a sturdy cage or stake installed at planting time supports its continuous growth. Soft ties help guide the long stems without cutting into them as they thicken through the season in the garden. For practical seed starting, growing from seed succeeds best when the verified product depth, moisture and temperature guidance is followed.

Start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before transplanting, approximately 1/8 to 1/4 inch deep. Gaia lists germination in 5 to 10 days from 10 to 35°C, with an optimum of 23 to 29°C. Keep the mix moist without standing water and provide bright light immediately after emergence. Harden plants off gradually by reducing water and nitrogen without allowing wilt. Transplant after frost risk has passed into fertile, well-drained soil in full sun. Space plants 24 to 36 inches apart and rows 4 to 6 feet apart. Use the product details as a clear guide on how to start seeds while keeping the growing medium evenly moist, never saturated. For indoor seed starting, count back from local conditions and frost dates to decide when to start indoor seeds. Starting tomato seeds with steady warmth supports even emergence; move each tomato seedling into bright light promptly.

Gaia lists 75 days to maturity. Harvest after the tomatoes have expressed their full red colour for the best taste. Fruit that has begun colouring can finish ripening off the vine above 21°C. The packet contains approximately 25 organic seeds, lot GO-0000630, with reported germination above 85%. Store whole tomatoes from 12 to 21°C at approximately 95% relative humidity. Pick fully ripe red fruit regularly to reduce cluster weight and enjoy the intensely sweet flavour described by Gaia. Keep the cultivar label beside the plant until the final harvest.

Watering

Water deeply at soil level to moisten the full root zone, then wait until the surface begins to dry before watering again. Maintain even moisture during flowering and cherry tomato development.

Soil type

This tomato prefers fertile, organic-matter-rich, well-drained soil with a pH of approximately 5.5 to 7. Incorporate mature compost before planting without using fresh manure. Avoid low areas where water remains around the roots and locations that recently grew tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants, peppers, or tomatillos. Clean mulch applied after the soil warms helps stabilize moisture and limit soil splash onto foliage.

Seasonal care

In spring, start seeds under bright light and harden seedlings off gradually. After frost, plant Sugar Cherry in full sun with a sturdy cage or stake.
