Product Description

Sun-ripened, cherry tomatoes are great for snacking—and the Chocolate Cherry Tomato is one of our favorite cherry tomato types. An open-pollinated, heirloom tomato variety, Chocolate Cherry Tomato produces dense clusters of 1-inch fruits that ripen to rich shades of red and chocolate. The fruits have a complex, gourmet flavor that's perfect for salads, slicing and canning. The indeterminate plants are known to produce for months right up until frost. The tomato plants require staking. 70 days to maturity.
