Sunchocola Tomatoes

Sunchocola Tomatoes are a chocolate-red hybrid variety of cherry tomatoes with sweet, smoky flavor. Sunchocola cherry tomatoes have juicy texture and balanced flavor with low acidity and high sugar content. These tomato plants grow as tall vines and are best guided to grow on a trellis. They produce eight to 12 round fruits in clusters along the vine, with each fruit measuring about 1 inch in diameter and weighing about 1 ounce. Perfect for skewering and for slicing in salads! Resistant to the tomato mosaic virus, Sunchocola cherry tomatoes are great for growing in your organic vegetable garden and are also ideal for balcony container gardening. No matter how you grow them, just be sure to harvest frequently so new fruit can set!
