May the heirloom tomato gods forgive me, but this is my favorite cherry tomato—I cannot imagine a season without it! Exceptionally sweet, vigorous plants yields early and continue to bear right through the season (one of my earliest to mature and last to peter out). They can split, but that just precludes them from shipping, making them an exclusive market or homegrown treat. The long trusses also make it really need for design, but tomatoes do not cling as well as Black Strawberry and Sunrise Bumblebee.

There is no need to start any earlier as leggy, root-bound, or flowering transplants can cause stunting and reduce early production (we even prefer small transplants). Once germinated, g\u003cspan\u003erow at 60–70°F.  At first true leaf, pot-up to 50-cell trays or 4\" pots. Always bury all the way up to first set of leaves to develop strong root system (plants develop roots from stems).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWe mostly grow indeterminate varieties, which are vine-like plants that continue to grow throughout the season. It's best to provide support, such as a tomato cage, trellis, basket weave, or string and clip system (anything they can grow up vertically). Indeterminates benefit by removing all suckers directly below the first flower cluster. Once fruit beings to set, we also prune out any leaves below to encourage air circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-center para-style-body\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eHarvest \u0026amp; Storage\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003eOnce established, harvest leaves before flowering begins. Leaves can be harvested 3–4 times per year, cut at ground level. Leaves may be used fresh or dried. To dry, cut bundles into 1\/4–1\/2\" lengths.  Dry on a screen surfaced out of direct sunlight in an area with good ventilation.

This is done for improved qualities, but saved seeds will not produce true to seed. While I tend to prefer most OP varieties, there are some exceptions in which a hybrid is a real winner (like my favorite cherry tomato, Sungold).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003eIt's important to note that this is entirely different from genetic modification.

The plants grown from these seeds will usually show more vigor than either of the two parent plants, and often more vigor and uniformity than similar non-hybrid (standard) varieties. To create a hybrid (F1), traditional breeding methods are used that involve the cross-pollination of two parent varieties that were selected for specific traits.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSHIPPING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFREE\u003c\/strong\u003e: $100 or more on any seeds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e$3.95: 1–9 seed packets\u003cbr\u003e$7.95: 10+ seed packets\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003ePhoto: Johnny's Selected Seeds\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Petal Back Farm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46131365707942,"sku":null,"price":3.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0436\/8580\/6246\/files\/tomato-sungold-petalbackfarm-1.jpg?v=1774723029","url":"https:\/\/shop.petalbackfarm.com\/products\/tomato-sungold","provider":"Petal Back Farm","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
