Royal Red Cherry Tomato
Solanum lycopersicum
Price: $3.95
SKU: 340098170 days, indeterminate - Not only a beautiful fruit, the taste is equal to that of a really good, full sized red tomato. The plants have heavy foliage with abundant yields. The fruit are nearly perfectly globe shaped, brilliant red, and weigh in the two to three ounce range. It additionally exhibits resistance to Fusarium (race 1), Verticillium wilt, Tobacco Mosaic Virus and Alternaria Stem Canker.
Although it is not the Livingston's 'Royal Red' that we were seeking when we requested samples from the University of California, Davis, it was a pleasant find. It was first made available for trailing in 1978 and released shortly thereafter.

Sow seeds indoors (do not direct sow into the garden), using sterile seed starting mix, 6 to 8 weeks before your last expected frost date. Plant 1/4" deep, water lightly but keep moist until emergence.
Full light and cooler temps (60° to 70°) will help to prevent the seedlings from becoming too leggy. If plants become rootbound before you can safely set them into the ground, transplant them into larger pots.
Harden off plants before planting outside. Young plants are very susceptible to frost and sunburn damage. Avoid too much nitrogen. Water evenly but not in excess.
