Another gorgeous cherry tomato creation by the breeding work of Artisan Seeds.

Pink bumblebee cherry tomatoes have a more oval shape than round, with a diameter of about 1 inch. Flesh is red, while skin is a bright pinkish-red with faint yellow or orange striping.

Flavour is sweet and juicy. 

An important feature for me in cherry tomatoes is the skin. Pink bumblebee has a perfect thin skin, that breaks down easily when you chew and disappears in the mouth. Fruit is not susceptible to cracking after a rain, which is also very important.

In my garden, I found some mild late blight resistance, as other varieties succumbed faster than the bumblebee tomatoes.

Growing Information:

Plants are indeterminate and require good staking to support tall growing vines.

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.

Transplant outdoors after all risk of frost has passed. Space plants a minimum of 2 to 3 feet apart, depending on how well plants are staked. Stay on top of removing suckers.

Tomatoes grow best in full sun.
