‘Matt’s Wild Cherry’ Cherry Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). The Solanum lycopersicum ‘Matt’s Wild Cherry’ cherry tomato is an exuberant organic variety, renowned for its incredible vigor, abundant production, and the exceptional sweetness of its small, bright red fruits. In the garden, it grows energetically, forming long, generous stems covered with decorative clusters, creating an impression of almost wild profusion throughout the season. Its small, round tomatoes burst in the mouth with an intensely fruity and sweet flavor, making them a favorite for snacking directly from the plant.
Recommended sowing period: March to April. The depth to respect is 0.5 cm (1/4 inch). Germination usually takes 7 to 14 days. For germination, keep the potting soil at 22 to 28 °C (72 to 82 °F). Transplant young tomatoes when their true leaves have developed and the roots sufficiently hold the root ball. Give them bright light to limit stem elongation. A short, vigorous plant recovers more easily than an etiolated one. During acclimatization, gradually increase the time spent outdoors and bring the plants indoors if nights become cold again.
The Matt's Wild Cherry tomato is chosen as much for its fruit type as for the available space in the garden. Observe the size and growth habit described for this variety before planning your supports and harvests. Install the tomatoes in a location where the clusters remain accessible from an aisle. Orient the supports so as not to shade lower crops. Planting in rows is practical for guiding the stems, while a few isolated plants allow for closer harvesting near the patio. Maintain sufficient distance between the foliage of the tomatoes and that of their neighbors so that care and air circulation remain easy.

Growing method
Recommended sowing period: March to April. Sow at a depth of 0.5 cm (1/4 in). Germination usually takes 7 to 14 days. For germination, maintain the soil temperature at 22 to 28 °C (72 to 82 °F). Transplant young tomato plants when their true leaves have developed and the roots are holding the soil ball sufficiently. Provide them with strong light to limit stem elongation. A short, vigorous plant will transplant more easily than an etiolated one. During acclimatization, gradually increase the time spent outdoors and bring plants back inside if nights become cold again. Soil temperature is as important as the calendar date when planting. Keep lower foliage away from the ground to reduce splashes when watering. Tie stems with a flexible tie that allows for thickening. Inspect fruit clusters at the same time as ties: the weight of the fruit increases rapidly as it grows. Mulch on already warmed soil helps maintain consistent moisture and keeps the lowest fruits cleaner. The type of growth mainly guides staking and pruning.
Soil and care
The right care,at the right time.
Care level
Regular during establishment, then adapted to growing conditions
Watering
Regular
Soil type
Rich and well-drained
Fertilization
Fertilization supports growth and takes into account nutrients already present in the soil or potting mix. Use mature compost or a fertilizer suitable for the crop, following the dosage instructions. Avoid using multiple products, especially in a container where roots occupy a limited volume. Water as needed after application and observe foliage development before re-fertilizing.
Moisture
Keep the soil moist during germination, without standing water; then adjust according to the crop.
Seasonal care
Matt's Wild Cherry tomatoes are chosen as much for their fruit type as for the available garden space. Observe the size and habit described for this variety before planning your supports and harvests. Transplant young tomato plants when their true leaves have developed and the roots hold the root ball sufficiently. Provide them with strong light to limit stem elongation. A short, vigorous plant takes root more easily than an etiolated one. During acclimatization, gradually increase the time spent outdoors and bring plants indoors if nights become cold again. Soil temperature matters as much as the calendar date when planting. Keep the lower foliage away from the soil to reduce splashing during watering. Tie stems with a flexible tie that allows room for them to thicken. Inspect the clusters at the same time as the ties: the weight of the fruits increases rapidly as they grow. Mulch on already warmed soil helps maintain consistent moisture and keeps the lowest fruits cleaner. The growth type mainly guides staking and pruning. A determinate tomato keeps its productive branches; severe pruning can remove part of the harvest. An indeterminate tomato requires more guidance as it grows longer. Observe fruits that are approaching their final color and pick them without crushing neighboring clusters. Its small, round tomatoes burst in the mouth with an intensely fruity and sweet flavor, making them a favorite for snacking directly from the plant.
Container growing
A garden,within reach.
Suitable for containers
Yes
Recommended pot size
Stable, perforated container, wide enough for the plant to spread out and deep enough for the roots
Choose this exposure: full sun. Reserve this spread around the plant: 60 to 90 cm (24 to 35 in). A potted tomato needs enough potting soil so that its root ball doesn't constantly go from very dry to soaked. Place the support before the roots occupy the entire container. A stable and heavy-bottomed pot better resists wind as the foliage thickens. As the fruits form, check the moisture more often and water the entire root ball rather than just wetting its surface.

Its indeterminate growth allows it to produce relentlessly when it benefits from good staking, a sunny location, and well-drained soil.

Garden associations

Companion plants
In a diverse planting, you can dedicate neighboring sections to these plants: basil, carrot, lettuce, onion, parsley. The purpose of this arrangement is to organize space and harvests. Respect each plant's height, light, and water needs, without crowding the foliage. Maintain a pathway for watering and picking, then remove finished crops to free up space. This organization facilitates maintenance without promising protection against pests. Install tomatoes in a location where the clusters remain accessible from a pathway.
