I can't say enough about this variety! Sweet, juicy, mildly acidic, and full of flavour. Skin is thin and breaks quickly down as you chew. You won't find it in your teeth like some of the thicker-skinned, hybrid comparisons.

Fruits are a brilliant, bright yellow colour. As the fruits mature, brilliant red stripes emerge. 

This strain was bred and born at Artisan Seeds, by Fred Hempel.

This is my absolute favourite cherry tomato variety and I would have a hard time not growing it each year!

Growing Information:

Like all tomato plants, seeds are best started 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. Stay on top of removing sucker stems.

‘Sunrise Bumblebee’ plants are indeterminate and will grow tall. Be sure to provide adequate staking in order to support tall vines. Remove suckers to encourage growth of the main central stem.

Fruits will produce until frost, so be sure to harvest regularly.
