Red Cherry Tomato — also known as लाल चेरी टमाटर — is an exotic fruit vegetable from the Solanaceae family, native to South America (Peru/Ecuador). This Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiforme variety grows 90–150 cm (indeterminate) tall with a sprawling and vining habit and is ready to harvest in 65–75 days. Harvest profile: bright red; small, round; 2–3 cm diameter. Key highlights: high-germination F1 hybrid red cherry tomato seeds, sweet and prolific fruiting.

This pack of F1 hybrid seeds delivers 80–90% germination, with seedlings appearing in 6–10 days. Beginner-friendly, Red Cherry Tomato grows well on Indian terraces, balconies, raised beds and kitchen gardens. It needs full sun (6–8 hrs), loamy, rich, well-drained soil (pH 6.0–6.8) and moderate watering. For container growing, use Geo Fabric Circular Grow Bags or HDPE Rectangular Grow Bags — recommended size: 15x15 inch grow bag recommended.

Sow Red Cherry Tomato in India during June–July and October–November, when temperatures sit around 20–27°C. Plants keep producing for 8–12 weeks, with an expected yield of 1–2 kg per plant per season. It is perfect for salads, snacking, garnishing, roasting, pasta sauces and ketchup. Grow it alongside basil, onion and carrot, plus flowers such as marigold and nasturtium — basil improves flavour and repels pests; marigold deters nematodes and whitefly. Looking for a similar crop?
