The Chocolate Cherry Tomato may look a bit like chocolate, but it’s all tomato. A very sweet one. If you want to taste for yourself, get to them before the birds do. Through heat and drought, sturdy vines produce generous clusters of uniform, round, 1" fruit with thin skin. If you’ve ever wished that chocolate would grow on trees, keep wishing.
- Sweet, fresh flavor
- Bird magnets
- High yields
- Heat tolerant
