Honey Drop Cherry Tomato

Wow! This was my first year growing these, and I will definitely grow them again! I planted them out a bit too early, and they tolerated cold weather, set fruit super early, and began producing 2-3 weeks ahead of my other tomatoes. It is now peak season, and they are setting abundant fruit and putting out almost a pint of tomatoes per plant every week. The tomatoes themselves are very good: savory, delicious, not quite as sweet as a Sungold but definitely excellent.

Do note: these are TALL plants. The vines outgrew my original 6 ft supports by early July, and I had to improvise a bit to keep them from becoming a big unsupported thicket.

Vigorous! Looking forward to first fruis

Cute packaging, waiting for sprouts

Full disclosure, I’m not a tomato person. But I’m a tomato product person. I made sun-dried tomatoes out of these in an attempt to find ways to use them up. I only made a small jar and I am so mad that I didn’t make more. I plan to make a lot more this summer. Also I froze the tomatoes whole and plop them in chilis and soups. Great versatile sweet little tomato. And fun to grow.

I grew 7 kinds of yellow cherries last year to find my favorite. Sunsugar was previously my favorite but was quickly dethroned when I tried these Honey Drop. Jess from Roots and Refuge on YT mentioned these in a video awhile ago and that she got them here and that everyone that tries them loves them and I now 100% know why! They are of course amazing fresh but I canned them whole with some red varieties for recipes (I use them in place of diced tomatoes a lot!), they hold up perfectly and still taste amazing! You will not be disappointed with these!

I’m not even a fresh tomato fan and I love this tomato. Will absolutely grow this again.

Great germination!

I have not had any luck getting any to germinate and I've used all the seeds except 5 or so. All my other packs were very good but this one I can't say the same for!

This is my second year growing Honey Drop cherry tomatoes. They quickly became my absolute go to for cherry tomatoes. They're sweet with a burst of berry type flavor when you first pop them in your mouth. The plants themselves are hardy and prolific. Its hard to keep up with them once they're at the peak of their production.

Looking forward to planting. I've heard that it's comparable to Sun Gold and those are so deliciously sweet. Hoping the same with the Honey Drop.

These are absolutely spectacular plants. I started these indoors and eventually transplanted to a raised bed. The plants are huge, productive, and the tomatoes are unbelievable! So sweet, so fragrant, so flavorful. It's almost November here in zone 7A and I'm still getting handfuls of perfect tomatoes every day, despite the occasional cold night and my tendency to not water as frequently as I should ;) The best seeds I've grown from HVS so far!!

Easy and delicious
These are doing amazing!! The plant is probably like 8 feet tall already if not more. My kids absolutely love these tomatoes and eat them straight off the vine every day after school. I need to plant two next year if I want some! Other than the plant growing WAY over the top of my cage with lots of time left to go - I have had zero issues with this plant. And this is my first year gardening.

Vigorous and productive
These started out as vigorous and determined seedlings, and have not lost their rapid growth despite a wet and humid summer leaving my tomato plants speckled with disease. While most of my tomato plants are limping along, the honey drop is throwing out new growth and sets of tomatoes despite these setbacks. I'll definitely grow again, although I will give them extra room, as they have overtaken some of my weaker tomato plants. The fruit are mild and very tasty, almost creamy, and more substantive than a sungold, with no cracking despite fluctuating rain.
