Tomatoberry
Has anyone grown the relatively new hybrid called "[URL="http://www.johnnyseeds.com/catalog/product.aspx?category=1&item=2760"]Tomatoberry[/URL]"? I guess it's from the same folks that brought us SunGold.
|
I am trying it this year. I love the suspense of trying new tomatoes.
I got my seeds from Johnny's. Mabe we can compare notes. |
housemouse--
I don't have it... yet! I may try to pick up a transplant just to try it out. The seeds were outrageously expensive, but I suppose that's all part of the marketing strategy! |
I purchased some seeds from Johnny's also. Sowed my first tomato seeds on the 27th, Tomatoberry among them. Cute looking tomato, should be fun to see what happens.
|
Just a quick update on this plant: It's growing like crazy at this point and has set around 150 fruit easy. This thing is so far out-producing and out-growing Sungold. It's a monster. Fruit has blushed but not yet ripened.
I'll try to post some photos later. |
Is that the black-fruited one I've heard about?
|
Johno-
Nope. Tomatoberry is a newer Japanese hybrid supposedly from the same folks that brought us Sungold. It's a cherry that resembles a strawberry. I suppose I'd say it's an oxheart cherry. Very attractive overall. |
Is it ripe yet?..how bout now?..is it ripe now?..go check again..I'll be back in a bit...Well?..is it ready?

Haha! Not yet, Bully! You're not making the wait any easier! :mrgreen:
|
Does Johnny's have an exclusive on Tomatoberry this year? This is the first I've heard of it.
|
I scored some seeds through [URL="http://www.tradewindsfruit.com/"]Trade Winds Fruit[/URL] for a lot less than JSS's price.
|
Well?
how were they? |
I thought they were pretty good. Nothing earth-shattering, but meaty and tasty. I'll grow them again for sure.
|
Do they crack badly??? Are they productive???
