The Vilmorin Red Cherry Tomato is the classic variety essential for all vegetable gardens, even the smallest. Very vigorous and particularly productive, it offers a multitude of small round fruits arranged in generous clusters. Its ease of cultivation makes it an ideal plant for beginners and experts alike who want to ensure an abundant and regular harvest throughout the summer until early autumn.
These small cherry tomatoes are distinguished by a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity. Their flesh is juicy, firm and very sweet, which makes them the healthy snack par excellence to be consumed directly in the garden or during your aperitif dinners. Their thin, crisp skin protects a fragrant pulp that releases all its aromas when consumed when fully ripe, red and shiny under the summer sun.
The plant has an indeterminate habit, which means that it continues to grow and produce clusters of flowers on a main stem that can reach a significant height. This variety adapts to all types of soils, as long as they are well-drained and rich. Although it thrives in the ground, its moderate vigour also allows it to be grown successfully in large pots on a balcony or terrace, provided it is given a very sunny exposure.
For optimal production, it is recommended to stake the plant from planting and to keep only one main stem, removing the suckers appearing in the axils of the leaves. Watering should be regular, preferably early in the morning or late in the evening, carefully avoiding wetting the foliage to prevent mildew. As a preventive measure, a mixture of one liter of water, a spoonful of baking soda and black soap can be sprayed on the leaves.
In the vegetable garden, the cherry tomato appreciates the proximity of aromatic herbs, such as basil, which helps repel certain pests by its smell. The association with marigolds or marigolds is also strongly recommended, as their roots secrete a natural substance that limits the development of nematodes. These companion plants promote a healthy and productive ecosystem, limiting the need for chemical treatments while decorating your grow room.
