Fox Cherry Tomato
Solanum lycopersicum
Certified Organic
Grown on Our Farm
This sly fox has skipped over Aesop's unreachable grapes and gone right for the grill. Why waste your energy jumping for something you can't reach when these sweet fruits are right at your fingertips? These two-bite tomatoes are prolific and easy to pick, hanging at comfortable heights along vines that reach skyward. Their perfect, plump size accommodates skewering, halving, and quartering for grilling and chunky salads. Follow the Fox's lead and you'll be grinning, too.
Fox Cherry Tomatoes grow on big, rangey vines. Unlike most cherry tomatoes, the fruits are large enough to use as regular tomatoes. They can be sliced into small rounds, or quartered, or chomped whole. Cherry tomatoes are more disease-resistant than standard varieties, and this is a particularly hardy, productive choice. Indeterminate.

About the artist
Last year was my first year successfully growing any plant from seed (after trying Hudson Valley I won’t buy any other brand). I got these started a little late but they were a labor of love. I don’t have a large garden and grow in containers or flower boxes. From two plants that successfully took, I probably got over 150-180 cherry tomatoes from when they began ripening in August through November. If I had remembered to pick them before the hard frost, I would have had about 40 more. I cut the plants back several times in anticipation of the frost and they kept flowering and putting out new vines. The cherry tomatoes were delicious and juicy and coming home to newly ripened tomatoes always brought a smile to my face. I’ve come back this year to purchase more. Cannot recommend this variety enough.
I've grown these every year in Canada They produce 6'-8' vines, are highly productive and flavour is good, not too sour, not too sweet, and tend not to split easily. Importantly, the flavour remains good until November. Most cherry tomatoes taste terrible after being exposed to cold weather in late September early October, not this one.
