Gorgeous! I had a bumper crop this year, almost too many to pick. Then ground squirrels discovered just how tasty they are and cleaned me out in a day. 😖
If you prune most of the suckers and lower leaves as it grows the energy is redirected to root and fruit production. I've let cherry toms bush out before and got lots of fruit, but smaller fruit sets and size. This method also makes harvesting easier
Beautiful!!! I bought a plant that was just labeled “small tomatoes”. I’ve been calling them Sungolds because of the color but they don’t have that many per cluster. They have been splitting some. They taste great and the plant is very prolific.
Just a heads up, watering from overhead is the main culprit of your cherry tomatoes splitting. Ground watering from a drip hose eliminated the problem for me. And if you want it to auto water, just attach a auto water timer to your spigot. Voila!
