Organic red cherry tomato 'Cherry Falls'
description
Organic Cherry Falls Red Cherry Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a compact, highly productive determinate annual variety especially valued for its trailing habit, forming beautiful cascades of small red fruits. It brings remarkable ornamental value to hanging baskets, balcony planters, window boxes, and sunny patios, while offering generous harvests in limited space. Its juicy, mild, sweet cherry tomatoes are perfect for snacking straight from the garden, summer salads, appetizers, and lunch boxes. Early and easy to grow, it usually produces its first fruits about 60 days after transplanting.
Organic Cherry Falls Red Cherry Tomato should be sown indoors from March to April, about 0.5 cm (1/4 in) deep, at a steady temperature of 21 to 27°C (70 to 81°F). Germination usually takes 7 to 14 days when conditions are warm and bright. After the last frosts, hardened-off plants can be transplanted into full sun, in an organic-rich, fertile, slightly acidic to neutral, well-drained growing mix. In containers or hanging baskets, regular moisture is essential because potting mix dries out faster during hot periods. Moderate, consistent fertilization supports abundant fruiting throughout summer.
In the edible garden, Organic Cherry Falls Red Cherry Tomato is ideal for small spaces, balconies, patios, and decorative edible plantings. Its cascading habit combines beauty and productivity, with visible red clusters that brighten containers all season long. Basil, chives, and parsley are good companion plants, while rotation with other nightshades helps reduce certain crop health issues when grown in the vegetable garden. Its yellow flowers attract bees and other pollinating insects, encouraging good fruiting and beneficial biodiversity even in urban settings.
