Black cherry - Indeterminate/Cordon. You will adore this blackish-purple skinned, cherry tomato with dark red flesh and a sweet and juicy flavour. Sweet and juicy fruits are produced in abundance throughout the summer.
Ideal for greenhouse growing, or outdoors in a sunny spot.

No hun, this a new one to me, I grow "gardeners Delight" and a hanging type of cherry "Tumbler" plus the usual upright varieties of "Moneymaker" "Alicanti " and another new one to me "Tamina"

I like to try new ones each year, I'll let you know how it turns out. gif

has anyone tried growing the hanging variety of tomatos in those plastic bag things that people use to put bedding plants in that hang down from a hook (not sure what the propper name is, wilkinsons sell them )Ive not got much space and thought that they may be a way of growing things in a confined space.

I use hanging baskets or wall baskets for my trailing tomatoes, but I cant see a reason not to use those hanging bags, as long as there's enough compost in them and you can keep them watered sufficiently go for it hun. gif
