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?

hunter July 9, 2007 01:30 PM

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.

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.

hunter July 9, 2007 09:25 PM

I scored some seeds through [URL="http://www.tradewindsfruit.com/"]Trade Winds Fruit[/URL] for a lot less than JSS's price.

bully September 7, 2007 04:28 PM

Well?

how were they?

hunter September 10, 2007 10:13 PM

I thought they were pretty good. Nothing earth-shattering, but meaty and tasty. I'll grow them again for sure.
