Enjoy fresh tomatoes in salads or other dishes or pickle them for a tasty treat thanks to the Kitchen Minis™ Cocoa Cherry Tomato plant. This tidy, upright plant reaches 8 inches tall and wide and lives in just about any sunny spot, from a patio table to a kitchen counter. Use a skewer to support the plant, so it stays upright when the 0.5- to 1-inch fruit starts to weigh it down. This easy-care plant is a determinate cultivar, so all of the tomatoes will ripen in a couple of weeks.
Kitchen Minis™ Cocoa Cherry Tomato Care
The tiny Kitchen Minis™ Cocoa Cherry Tomato plant can live indoors or out. Place this vegetable plant in full sun, so select a South-facing window or a patio table in direct light. Tomatoes prefer fertile soil with a 6.0 to 6.8 pH. The soil should promote drainage because this plant does not like to have wet feet.
Growing Kitchen Minis™ Cocoa Cherry Tomato
To produce round, sweet-tasting tomatoes, it takes the Kitchen Minis™ Cocoa Cherry Tomato 70 to 84 days. The plant is relatively compact and stands 8 inches tall, so it can easily fit into areas with limited space.
Growing Kitchen Minis™ Cocoa Cherry Tomatoes in Containers
Use a 6- to 8-inch container with drainage for this cocoa cherry tomato plant. Use supports so the plant can withstand the weight of the ripening fruit. Grow one plant in a container for proper root space and foliage air circulation.
Watering Kitchen Minis™ Cocoa Cherry Tomato
Feel the soil to determine when to water this plant. The Kitchen Minis™ Cocoa Cherry Tomato prefers to dry out somewhat, so water when the top few inches of soil feel dry. Drench the soil until the excess drains through the pot.
Feeding Kitchen Minis™ Cocoa Cherry Tomato
Tomatoes are heavy feeders that will reward your effort with a bumper crop. Apply a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every few weeks to promote healthy growth.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
