Sugary Cherry Tomato Seeds

Days to Maturity: 60 from transplant

AAS Winner 2005

Indeterminate

Many cherry tomatoes look great but taste like nothing, while others are flavorful but don't have the big, steady yields we all love. Well, award-winning Sugary has it all—supersweet flavor, a fun new shape, and huge, huge yields on plants that just keep growing up and up all season.

Scoring a full 9.5 on the Brix scale of sugar content, these delicious little ½-ounce dark pink fruits are packed with sweetness. Even children who won't go near other tomatoes may be lured by the interesting new shape—the fruit is pointed on both ends, as if a regular cherry tomato had been stretched out—to give Sugary a bite. Once they do, they'll be converts. There is simply no sweeter, more delectable cherry tomato in the world.

And you'll get plenty of chance to enjoy Sugary's goodness, because this plant is absolutely unstoppable. It sets huge clusters of fruit all season long, and grows so vigorously that you may have to cut it back in mid-season just to keep it within bounds. Never fear—it will keep bearing like crazy.

Start seeds indoors 5 to 6 weeks before the last frost date. Transplant outdoors when danger of frost is past and night temperatures consistently remain above 55 degrees Fahrenheit. If an unexpected late frost is forecasted, protect young plants with plastic sheeting or other cover. Set plants 2 to 2½ feet apart.
