Matt's Wild Cherry Tomato Seeds

This pack contains 40 seeds. Assuming a standard germination rate, you should be able to start a substantial number of plants, though it is always wise to plant a few extra seeds per cell to ensure success.

While Matt's Wild Cherry tomatoes are known for their vigorous, prolific growth, they can be grown in large containers. Just ensure you use a pot that is at least 5 gallons in size and provide a sturdy cage or trellis to support the sprawling vines.

These seeds perform best in loamy soil that is rich in organic matter and drains well. If your garden soil is heavy clay or very sandy, amending it with compost before planting will significantly improve your harvest.

To get the sweetest, most abundant harvest, these tomatoes require full sun, which means at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. If you live in an area with extremely intense afternoon heat, some light afternoon shade can prevent the fruit from sun-scalding.

Matt's Wild Cherry is an indeterminate variety, meaning it will continue to grow and produce fruit until the first frost. While you can let them sprawl, pruning and staking them will improve airflow, reduce the risk of disease, and make harvesting much easier.
