Producing heavy crops of sweet, bite-sized fruits, this cherry tomato is perfect for fresh picking and snacking. This heritage, indeterminate, cordon cultivar grows vigorously and yields abundant trusses of slightly larger, round, red tomatoes throughout the season.
Tomato 'Red Cherry' is suitable for growing in a greenhouse or outdoors in a sunny, sheltered spot. Regular feeding and support for the climbing vines will ensure a continuous supply of delicious fruit, making it a reliable choice for any kitchen garden or large patio pot and cane.

Support plants as they grow by tying the main stem to canes or string, and regularly pinch out side-shoots to focus energy into fruiting. Keep soil consistently moist and feed weekly with a high-potash fertiliser once flowers appear.
Towards the end of the season, to help ripen any remaining fruit, lift the plants off supports and lay them flat in a sunny, sheltered spot, ideally under a cloche to retain warmth.
This tomato is an indeterminate cultivar and blooms consistently, sets fruit, and ripens throughout the season. Fruit will be ready to harvest July to October.

Sow from March to May in pots or trays on the surface of barely moist seed compost, and cover with a sprinkling of finely sieved compost. Place in a propagator at 18-20°C (65-68°F) until germination, which usually takes up to 10 days.
Transplant the seedlings into small pots or cells and grow on until they are about 10cm (4in) high, then after all risk of frost has passed, they can be planted outdoors, 90cm (3ft) apart. Alternatively pot them into a growbag or container and keep in the greenhouse.
