Tomato 'Matt's Wild Cherry'

After reading the rave reviews on this tiny tomato, I started several from seed and ultimately planted 3-Matt's Wild Cherry in a 4x4 rais...Read Moreed bed along with 1-Jelly Bean grape tomato and 1-Yellow Pear tomato. I grow all my tomatoes single stem so it ought to be interesting to see Matt's Wild Cherry as a single stem. Because it is so prolific and somewhat invasive, I felt single stem may be the way to go.

My other 10-heirloom tomatoes are single stemmed in a 2x16 raised bed w/Blue Lake green beans in towers on each end.

I'll update my post as the 2014 season progresses.

Oh, and dry them, freeze them and add them to tomatoey dishes throughout the winter.

I have 5 of these plants growing this year. There are literally hundreds of tomatoes on the plants. I am able to pick roughly half a cup ...Read Moreof tomatoes each day to snack on. These are VERY yummy little tomatoes and are great in wraps or pasta. One of the plants is in the ground and it has sort of taken over and sprawls another foot or so each time it rains (not caged). They are much more manageable in containers but are a bit less prolific. If planted in a 4-5 gallon container you should still see a few hundred tomatoes per plant with appropriate fertilization. These plants are also very hot/cold hardy as long as adequate water / shelter is provided. For the containers this means using watering cones and adding play sand so that the water drips slowly from a 2 liter for 4 hours... 90 degree heat here in Florida!

Did not care for the taste in the begining of the season, but as fall approached and that stupid rain stopped. These babies started to ta...Read Moreste better. I loved the size of the fruit and the plants were very productive and huge. The Matt's had the worst spot in my tomato bed. 6 hrs of sun and right next to a small evergreen, but it still grew and produced. I think these would taste even better in a hotter climate or a spot that gets sun; sunup to sundown. No cracking at all. I won't try them again in the near future as I already have a list of other very small red cherries I would like to try. I still recommend them though.

1 note, for my counter ripened - vine ripened test. Matt's was exactly the same both ways in color and taste. I did not eat any in the orange-red stage, I waited until the color was a deep red.

Huge, spawling plants with TONS of tiny, sweet red cherry tomatoes. Early and very easy to grow.

Early bearing, tall lanky and branching. Prolific tart little fruits.

Good taste, small red cherries, extremely large plants. Easy to grow. Reseeded prolifically, though -- it's nearly impossible to keep ...Read Moreup with picking all those small fruits.
