Hundreds of rich-red, 1” globes cascade from the Sweet 100 cherry tomato from the time it reaches maturity at 65 days until the first frost (it’s an indeterminate tomato variety). If you love cherry tomatoes and like to use them in recipes, snacks, and meals, this is the variety for you. The non-stop harvest will satisfy any cook, and you may even have bowls to spare for friends! Stew or grill them for a tasty treat, or snack on them fresh. Either way, you’ll love the sweet, juicy taste of this abundant producer.

Sweet 100 cherry tomatoes produce red fruit that is sweet and juicy. Tomato foliage is toxic and should not be eaten. Pruning is not necessary unless you are growing on stakes. Store at room temperature or in a cool room, avoid refrigeration.

Sweet 100 Cherry Tomato Plant Care

Cherry tomatoes are damaged by frost, so wait until after your last frost to plant your seedlings outside. Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the expected last frost date. Plant tomato seedlings deep, up to a few inches above the crown. Seedlings should be planted into a compost-enriched, mulched garden bed that gets full sun. Sweet 100 cherry tomatoes require quite a bit of support for their large fruit sets.

No pruning is necessary unless you are growing on stakes. If growing on a stake, prune back to one or two main stems and continue to prune back any suckers or additional stems. Harvest all ripe and nearly ripe fruit before the first frost. You can allow unripe fruit to ripen in newspaper or paper bags at room temperature.

Growing Sweet 100 Cherry Tomato Plants

Sweet 100 cherry tomatoes thrive in full sun and moist soil. They need room to grow, so plant them 3-4’ away from other plants. Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before your last frost date and transplant seedlings outdoors after nighttime temperatures are warm enough to avoid frost.

Grow in a container or hanging basket that is at least 18” wide. Keep the soil consistently moist and fertilize 2 times throughout the season. Support the branches with a tomato cage or structure.

Watering Sweet 100 Cherry Tomatoes

Tomatoes need 1-2” of water per week to thrive.Provide additional irrigation to meet these needs as necessary.

Feeding Sweet 100 Cherry Tomato Plants

Fertilize once or twice in the growing season with a vegetable fertilizer. Feed seedlings with a starter solution at 3-4 weeks old.

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.

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.

Guarantee and Warranty

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.
