The Texas Wild Cherry tomato is an heirloom variety celebrated for its small, red, cherry-sized fruits and exceptional productivity. Originating from a patch of wild tomatoes in southern Texas, this variety is known for its resilience and prolific nature.
Plant Characteristics:
- Size: Sprawling, indeterminate plants that can reach up to 3 meters (10 feet) in length under optimal conditions.
- Fruit: Small, round, red cherry tomatoes approximately 1.5 to 2 centimeters (0.5 to 0.75 inches) in diameter.
- Flavor: Sweet-tart taste, making them excellent for snacking, salads, and cooking.
- Maturity: Early-maturing, with fruits ready for harvest in about 55 to 68 days after transplanting.
Cultivation Tips:
- Planting: Ideal for warm climates; start seeds indoors and transplant seedlings after the last frost.
- Support: Due to their sprawling habit, providing support like trellises or cages can help manage growth and improve air circulation.
- Watering: Drought-tolerant once established, but consistent watering during fruit development enhances yield and flavor.
- Pruning: Regular pruning can help control plant size and improve fruit production.
