Beautiful 1-inch round cherry tomatoes, with a rich chocolate brown/reddish-brown colour. Fruits grow on endless trusses, loaded with fruit.

Flavour is juicy, smokey and mildly sweet, perfect for snacking right off the vine or added to a salad.

Fruit is noted for being crack-resistant. In my experience, I didn't see much cracking. To prevent cracking in this variety be sure to harvest fruit before a predicted heavy rain.

I love growing this variety for the flavour and the contrast in colour next to other cherry tomato varieties.

Growing Information:

Start tomato seeds indoors a minimum of 6 to 8 weeks before the final frost date. Please refer to my Seed Starting Calculator for specific planting dates for your planting area.

Tomatoes grow best in full sun and require consistent moisture, in order to avoid blossom end rot.

Transplant outdoors after all risk of frost has passed. Space your plants at least 2 to 3 feet apart, depending on how well you stake them.

Plants are indeterminate and require proper staking in order to support tall vines. Remove suckers to encourage growth of the main central stem.
