How to grow

Black cherry Tomato seeds can be sown in small pots or seedling modules, indoors in early spring. They can be planted directly outdoors in pots from April onwards. Plant two seeds in each pot or module. Once the seedlings are established, thin to leave only the strongest one in each module or pot. When seedlings get to about 8cm tall, they can be planted into larger pots. Black Cherry Tomato needs heat and will do best if grown in a greenhouse or polytunnel. If growing them outdoors, put them in a warm sunny area of the garden. This variety will grow tall and it will need to be supported to help the plant grow upwards and bear the fruit. Seed count is approximate.
