Description
Add a pop of vibrant citrus hues to your garden with the "Orange Cherry" Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). These bite-sized tomatoes boast a radiant orange glow and have a delightfully sweet taste that's juicier than your latest garden gossip. Their round and plump shape makes them a perfect addition to salads or as a zesty snack straight from the vine.
Keen to reap the sunny benefits of the "Orange Cherry"? Nestle them in a premium quality potting mix if you're potting up, or for those going the garden route, delve into a top-notch soil conditioner. Ensure they bask in the sun and keep them hydrated, especially during Birak (early summer) and Bunuru (late summer). Feeding them with a balanced tomato fertiliser in Djilba (early spring) will surely get them glowing. As they grow, these little sun-kissed cherries will appreciate a bit of support, so stake them up. After about 60-70 days of watching them soak up the sun, they'll be ripe and ready for you to enjoy their sunburst flavour!
