Super Sweet 100 Cherry Tomato
Super Sweet 100 Cherry Tomato
The Super Sweet 100 Cherry Tomato is a hybrid variety known for its exceptionally sweet flavor. These cherry-sized tomatoes grow in abundance on long fruit-bearing stems. Each plant can produce 100 or more tomatoes, with fruits weighing approximately 1 ounce and measuring 1 inch across. The plants are indeterminate, meaning they continue to set fruit throughout the growing season, right up until the first frost. Their disease resistance and early harvest make them a popular choice for home gardeners.
Care
Sunlight: Plant in a location that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Soil: Use well-draining soil with organic matter. A slightly acidic to neutral pH (around 6.0-7.0) is ideal.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water at the base of the plant to avoid wetting the foliage.
Support: Provide sturdy stakes or cages to support the growing plants and prevent sprawling.
Fertilization: Apply balanced fertilizer during planting and periodically throughout the growing season.
Pruning: Remove suckers (side shoots) to encourage fruit production and maintain airflow.
Pest and Disease Control: Monitor for pests (such as aphids and hornworms) and common tomato diseases (like blight). Use appropriate treatments if needed.
Harvesting: Harvest ripe tomatoes promptly to encourage continuous fruiting.
