Growth Timeline

Growing Season: Most fruits/veggies have their peak growing season starting in spring and extending through fall. They need a runway of consecutive warm days and nights (from 60-90) to produce fruit.
First Harvest: Fruits/veggies take 2-3 months to bear fruit and/or reach ripeness.
Final Harvest: Fruits/veggies start to give out between late summer and early fall in most climates. Some plants, such as strawberries, will become dormant in winter before popping back into action in for spring, but most fruiting plants will need to be replaced after their season is over.

COLD CLIMATES

Fruits/veggies require nighttime temperatures to consistently be in the 50s or above to survive.

WARM CLIMATES:

Support Trailing Plants: Unless you are growing smaller plants (jalapeño or micro-tomatoes) you might want to use stakes, trellises, or cages to support the plants as they grow. This will prevent them from sprawling on the ground. Train the vines to grow vertically for better air circulation and easier harvesting.

Black Cherry Tomato – Organic Heirloom Cherry 4” Plant

‘Black Cherry’ is one of the only true round black cherry tomatoes available, celebrated for its deep purplish color and exceptional flavor. This heirloom variety produces abundant 1-inch fruits with the sweet, rich, full-bodied taste typical of prized Russian black tomatoes.

The striking dark cherries add dramatic color to cherry tomato mixes and are delicious eaten fresh, straight off the vine. Plants are highly productive and noted for their disease resistance, making them a reliable choice for home gardeners.

‘Black Cherry’ is an indeterminate variety, meaning plants grow tall and continue producing throughout the season. Providing staking or trellising will support healthy growth and maximize yields. Fruits mature in approximately 64 days and perform best in full sun.
