Chocolate Cherry Tomato

Solanum lycopersicum

Certified Organic

If you like tomatoes with darker hues, these cherries are for you!

Deep purple-hued perfectly round cherries with big floppy stem leaves: an absolute beauty in the bowl. Like most tomatoes with darker hues, the flavor is robust, rich, and complicated in the best way. Vines are highly productive and produce large clusters of fruit. Indeterminate.

Growing instructions
Start seeds indoors early, about 10 weeks before last frost. Seeds germinate best at 80 degrees F. Do not over water, and keep temperature warm but not hot to prevent damping off. Transplant outdoors after threat of frost has passed. Provide with proper support. A bit of pruning increasing yield of fruit. Do not over water, and water at the base of the plant if possible to help reduce occurance of disease. Harvest when tomatoes are fully ripe for best flavor.

    I only planted one seed, which was more than enough. The plant is huge! You can see it in the picture i included - it’s tomato plant growing up a pole and along the fence in the foreground. That is a single plant it has two main vines that are both about 15 feet long. The tomatoes taste no different than any other cherry.

    Chocolate cherry tomatoes produced the most perfect tasty long lasting tomatoes I've tried. I live where it dry and hot over 100 all summer. They were the first and last tomatoes , no splits, no black bottom. Heavy producers.

    I planted 6 in seed starters. 1 germinated. It did not survive.

    Hello Will, thank you for placing an order with us! Tomatoes do need lots of heat and light to germinate, and then less heat as they begin to grow. They can get scraggly if the soil is too moist or if the light is too far away. However, I'm so sorry to hear about your difficulty with germination. We haven't had any other reports of poor germination with the Chocolate Cherry Tomatoes, and we do test our seed stock 2-3 times per year to ensure a high germination rate. Yet, despite our commitment to testing and quality, seeds are alive and sometimes have their own trajectories and ideas. I am passing along this information to our seed tester so that we can recheck this seed's viability. I will be reaching out to you directly to help remedy this further.
