Description
Washington Cherry Tomato is notable for its prolific loads of red, meaty, 1-oz fruits. Our earliest and only determinate cherry tomato, which thrives both indoors or outdoors without protection. Washington Cherry’s thick skin resists cracking better than any other cherry tomato we’ve grown. For peak flavor, allow fruits to ripen a few days beyond initially turning red. On the large side for a cherry tomato, which helps quickly fill the pint containers! Great for the beginning gardener intimidated by growing tomatoes. Developed at WSU. Determinate.
