    Cooperative Extension-Sacramento County 4145 Branch Center Road, Sacramento, CA 95827-3823 (916) 875-6913 Office (916) 875-6233 Fax Email: [email protected] Website: http://cesacramento.ucanr.edu Garden Notes GN 109 CHERRY TOMATOES CULTURE Cherry tomatoes have small, cherry to golf ball-sized fruit that is often used in salads. They are heat-loving plants that range in size from dwarf to seven-footers. Give them full sun, soil that is well amended with compost and a cage or stake to grow on. Plant seedlings in the garden after all danger of frost is past. Keep the soil around new transplants moist for the first 3 to 4 weeks. Water established plants when the soil dries to about 2 to 3 inches deep. Apply enough water to wet the root zone thoroughly. Since weather and the depth of rooting vary, the right interval for applying water in the summer can vary from 1 to 3 times a week to once every 10 to 14 days. Plants are best irrigated by using soaker hoses, drip irrigation, or any means that applies water slowly without wetting the foliage. To boost growth, use fish emulsion or other mild nitrogen fertilizer when the plants set their first fruit and every 4 to 6 weeks thereafter. Too much nitrogen makes plants grow leaves at the expense of fruit. Cherry tomatoes are notorious for splitting before or right after they have been picked with some varieties more prone to split than others. VARIETIES The six cherry tomato varieties listed below were grown in the Fair Oaks Horticulture Center Vegetable Demonstration Area during the spring and summer of 2007.

  • Flavors from the Past

Flavor took a backseat in the breeding of hybrids in favor of characteristics that enhanced pro- ductivity, uniformity, disease-resistance, and long shelf life. Heirlooms can have their downside. Though some heirlooms are quite pro- ductive, many produce lower yields than hybrids. Also, heirloom fruits have soft- er flesh and thinner skins, making them less suited to long-term storage because they are more likely to bruise or spoil. But tender skins, plump juiciness, appe- tizing texture, and unadulterated flavor is a big part of what makes growing heir- looms so appealing for a home gardener. WHAT IS AN HEIRLOOM? A consensus as to what defines an heirloom still eludes us.
