Tomato Orange Berry Cherry Vegetable Seeds

Tomato Orange Berry is a bright orange cherry tomato with very sweet flavour with bite. An early/mid ripening, indeterminate, the long trusses bearing up to 50 fruits per truss of pale green tomatoes ripen to bright orange, are very tasty and crop well into the season. Fruit: orange, cherry, 14-18 grams.

Orange Berry is known for growing to a height of approximately 1.50 metres (4.88 feet).

Typically, Orange Berry Tomato is normally fairly low maintenance and can thus be quite easy to grow - only a basic level of care is required throughout the year to ensure it thrives. Being aware of the basic growing conditions this plant likes (soil, sun and water) will result in a strong and vibrant plant.

An excellent complement to the red and black cherry tomatoes.

For greenhouse cultivation: sow from February to March. For outdoor cultivation: sow from March to April.

Sowing: 

Sow seeds on the surface of a good, free-draining, damp, seed sowing mix and cover with a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place seed trays in a propagator at a constant temperature of around 15-20C (59-68F) until after germination, which takes 7-14 days. When seedlings gain 2 true leaves, transplant into individual 7.5cm (3") pots of compost and grow on at a minimum temperature of 15C (59F).

When growing in a heated glasshouse tomato plants may be transplanted at the end of May or when the first flowers are showing, if earlier. Allow 3 plants per growbag, or one per 25cm (10") pot, or plant tomatoes directly into the greenhouse soil.

When growing tomatoes outdoors, wait until all risk of frost has passed before transplanting tomatoes. Gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 - 10 days before planting out from early June when tomato plants are 20cm (8") tall. Choose a sheltered position in full sun on fertile, reliably moist, well drained soil, and transplant at a distance of 60cm (24") apart. Drive a (5') cane into the soil adjacent to each plant to support them as they grow, and tie each main stem to its support with soft garden twine.

Space 50cm apart, with approximately 50cm between rows.

Suitable for the vegetable garden, allotments and containers.

Be prepared to water well and supplement feed with high-potash feed during season. Regular feeding is recommended.
