‘Sweet Orange’ Cherry Tomato, organic seeds(Solanum lycopersicum)
Product code : GAIAS-0418
‘Sweet Orange’ Cherry Tomato, organic seeds (Solanum lycopersicum) Sweet Orange is an open-pollinated heirloom tomato producing bright orange cherry fruit approximately 1 inch across. Gaia highlights its very sweet taste and excellent crack resistance. This useful resistance does not guarantee intact fruit when soil moisture changes sharply. The S/P fruit class suits snacking, salads, skewers, and colourful tomato platters. The indeterminate plant reaches approximately 3 to 5 feet according to the Gaia catalogue and requires a sturdy cage or stake during its continuous growth. Regular picking keeps ripe orange fruit easy to serve.
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. Provide bright light immediately after emergence and keep the mix moist without standing water. During hardening off, gradually reduce watering and nitrogen without allowing plants to wilt. Transplant after frost risk has passed into fertile, organic-matter-rich, well-drained soil in full sun. Space plants 24 to 36 inches apart and install a sturdy cage or stake at planting time to avoid disturbing roots later.
Gaia lists approximately 60 days to maturity. Harvest after the bright orange colour is fully expressed to enjoy the very sweet taste. Fruit that has begun colouring can finish ripening off the vine above 21°C. The packet contains approximately 25 organic seeds, lot GOGO688, with reported germination above 85%. The open-pollinated heirloom seeds are certified organic by Ecocert Canada. Store whole tomatoes from 12 to 21°C at approximately 95% relative humidity as listed by Gaia. Pick small ripe fruit regularly to reduce weight on clusters and support a continuing harvest from the indeterminate vines.
