I grew those a few years ago and need to do it again, they are really good. It is hard to find room for the ones I already know that I like plus all the new varieties I want to try. Great video, I really enjoyed how you filmed planting all the way up to harvest.
It's my favorite cherry for sure and always in my garden now. If you want tomatoes and you're having issues growing them, this one seems to always come through. Weird how it pushes huge clusters over the top of the cage isn't it? Great video and thank your for the shout out. Brent
I'm planning on growing Black Cherry this year. Compared to the other cherry tomatoes you've grown did you think it was one of the better ones? I'm going to try single stemming and caging a couple of these plants.
I'm not a huge fan of cherry tomatoes, but if I was going to grow just one cherry tomato plant and no other, it would be the Black Cherry. The last time I grew one, it got close to 10 feet tall. It went over the top of the cage and then almost reached the ground. Good choice!
I’m growing these at the moment and can’t wait to try them. They are flowering. Really excited about this variety and the sun sugar which I’m also growing.
ooohh. they look so pretty I love cherry tomatoes! and do does Henry. we've only had a few ripe ones, since we started so late, but Henry snatches them before we get a chance to try them hahaha! but there are more setting on everyday.
My Black Cherry Tomatoe plant has bare lots of tomatoes throughout the year, but now it's about 7 feet tall and has stopped growing tomatoes. Should I cut it to about half its size to allow it to re-grow? What do you suggest? 🤔
think I will back tra k and study your tomato methods, i am a terrible tomato grower. my ground is low floods and disease sets in. next year will be different, and I will stop smoking tobacco, thanks sir. great info
Well, thank you very much for that. Yes, too much moisture and not enough air flowing through your plants can cause them to get more disease. And if you are serious about stopping smoking, I'm all for that. My son and his wife quit this year. I've seen what smoking can do......it's not good.
Hey Jim, you've got a great one there... LOADS of tomatoes. As I said before this is why I grow this one every year. I see your regular list of tomatoes is growing. You may end up with 30 plants next year... ha. Love the sound effect of you chewing... lol (kidding, I didn't hear anything). TFS, T.
You had me worried on the sound effect remark for a second, lol. I know what you mean, that list keep on growing. I might scale back a plant or two next year.......or maybe not.
Greetings. I'm growing Black Cherry Hybrid tomato. I really like the flavor. Not sure if you grown it. If you do, how different is the heirloom than the hybrid. Do taste the same? Is one more resistant to disease than the other? Thanks.
Will do that! I'll post some video's when i plant it outside, started it inside in Januari and transplanted it deeper into a bigger pot 2 weeks ago. It 'll go outside in full soil by the beginning of May ( over here the risk of any frost is non existent by then). I'll keep you posted.
Such a wonderful harvest Jim, the black cherry tomatoes look a gorgeous deep red color, and I bet they taste AMAZING too :-) we need You Tube to invent 'taste a vision' so we can enjoy them too haha! thanks so much for sharing and sending you an abundance of love and happy growing from Ireland for a wonderful afternoon XXXX
Thanks for the video! I got some seeds and will give these a try this spring here in Southern Nevada. I'm always looking for things that can stand our summer heat.
You're welcome, Christine! I know exactly what you mean. Some plants just can't take it when it gets into the upper 90s, or over 100. I hope they do well for you. The really produced well for us. This year I had one that came up as a volunteer. I didn't even stake it, and it still grew well and produced tomatoes even lying on the ground.
I will have to document how they do here! Last summer we had several days in a row that were 115 - 120. I'll be starting them in the house, from seed under my grow lamp. Anything that produces a volunteer and grows without a stake is nice and hearty!
I am down in Texas and been growing this variety since 5/22/22 and the plant is still so small. Any tips on how to get my tomato plants to grow well in harsh weather. Thanks
I think I started my planting season late but we have long growing season so decided to go for it anyways. I have ordered shade cloths and calcium fertilizer to try. Thanks for taking the time to respond.
Did you build that cage yourself? I have black cherry tomatoes that I used a cage from Lowes for and they've way outgrown it!!! Looking for a remedy for when I plant this variety next year
Thanks so much for trying all these different varieties and sharing all the info with us! Have you grown Amish Paste? I did for first time this year and almost pulled it up because it looked sick with viral wilt since the beginning, but it grew tall and produced large tomatoes that had better, sweeter flavor than any of my other tomatoes! I have about 100 plants, mostly heirlooms.
whew...I can tell you we are glad to be back in our lil temperate zone here...while as a gardener I might like a bit more heat for some stuff to grow better here.. it sure is nice to be in a temperate cooler climate
I can't remember for sure, but I don't think I even gave it any fertilizer. I almost always add some homemade compost though. When I do fertilize tomatoes, I usually add some when I plant, and not after that. My soil is pretty good stuff.
Sorry you feel that way. At the beginning of the video, the plant is a seedling. Though the middle of the video, the plant is shown through different stages of growth. And at the end of the video I do a taste test of tomatoes harvested from the plant. So the video progresses from seedling to harvest.
I grew those a few years ago and need to do it again, they are really good. It is hard to find room for the ones I already know that I like plus all the new varieties I want to try. Great video, I really enjoyed how you filmed planting all the way up to harvest.
Thank you. I know exactly what you are talking about. It is always really hard to decide which ones to grow, and which ones not to.
Did you top that plant and if not can it be done with tomatoes ?
Taste testimony.. when you reach for seconds we already knew how you felt about'em💯
Very good point 😄
Your video once my pick to take inspiration. Thanks brother 🤘
Thanks Pat! Much appreciated!
got these from my grandma, i had no idea they get so tall. will definitely have to buy some staking
Yes, they will need some support of some kind.
It's my favorite cherry for sure and always in my garden now. If you want tomatoes and you're having issues growing them, this one seems to always come through. Weird how it pushes huge clusters over the top of the cage isn't it? Great video and thank your for the shout out.

Thank you for letting us know about it. Nice to have a few you can depend on year after year.
Hello Jim, I like the way you put these video together. Thankyou my friend.
😎 Happy growing,
Terry.
Thanks, Terry. Take care.
This video is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!
You're welcome!
I'm so glad you like the black cherry tomatoes😊 I'm planting one out tomorrow for the 1st time and really looking forward to tasting them now ❤
Good luck! I hope you enjoy growing them.
They look really nice, I like the way you show them progressing in your vids!!
Thanks, Mick. My first time to grow it, but it seems like a good one.
Loved the start to finish! Here it gets over 100 for a couple of days, so next year I may try these! Thank you very much for sharing 😊
I think you will like them.
Great update Jim. I think I will try the black cherry tomatoes next year. My bride really likes the cherry varieties. Best wishes Bob.
Mine too.
Awesome thank you for sharing have a blessed evening
Thanks.
Wow... that was a nice harvest. I'm going to look for some of those for next year. Thanks for sharing. :-)
It was my first time growing them, but I really like them so far.
I'm planning on growing Black Cherry this year. Compared to the other cherry tomatoes you've grown did you think it was one of the better ones? I'm going to try single stemming and caging a couple of these plants.

Me neither. I like to go big or go home with tomatoes, but I like the cherries for ornamental and snacking reasons. I'm convinced to buy seeds now!
I think you will enjoy growing them. Hope you can get some good weather soon!
We had our first warm and sunny day today for the first time in a long time!
That's good to hear. I hope there are many more to follow!!
I’m growing these at the moment and can’t wait to try them. They are flowering. Really excited about this variety and the sun sugar which I’m also growing.
Good luck with them, Jennifer! I hope enjoy growing them as much as we did. They are super productive and tasty too.
Jennifer what did you think about Sun Sugar? I am growing this year and have been disappointed with the flavor. Does not match up to Sun Gold.
ooohh. they look so pretty
I love cherry tomatoes! and do does Henry. we've only had a few ripe ones, since we started so late, but Henry snatches them before we get a chance to try them hahaha! but there are more setting on everyday.
What kind are you growing?
+Midwest Gardener just some sweet 100 I think. :) I'm such a beginner!
Lol, we all have to start somewhere.
Growing this year alongside my favourite cherry, Koralik. Any idea how the blight resistance is?
Ours started getting some blight later in the season.
My Black Cherry Tomatoe plant has bare lots of tomatoes throughout the year, but now it's about 7 feet tall and has stopped growing tomatoes.
Should I cut it to about half its size to allow it to re-grow? What do you suggest? 🤔
Sometimes pruning can get a plant to grow again.

This looks great! I love heirloom tomatoes.
We do too.

I wasn't aware that there was a Black Cherry Hybrid tomato.
They look beautiful and tasty!
Thanks......they are.
Hi Jim, thanks for showing your black cherry's growth and production! Growing this tomato myself coming season! My regards from Belgium.
Hi Dave. I think you will like the productivity of the black cherry. Please drop back by and let me know what you think later this summer.
Will do that! I'll post some video's when i plant it outside, started it inside in Januari and transplanted it deeper into a bigger pot 2 weeks ago. It 'll go outside in full soil by the beginning of May ( over here the risk of any frost is non existent by then). I'll keep you posted.
OK, thanks. Let me know when you have the video up and I'll take a look.

Oh wow, that is pretty extreme heat! It will be interesting to see how they do for you.
I was expecting them to be black!! I have cherry tomatoes that are actually black!
I bet those are pretty.
Wow awesome video!
Thanks Charlotte!
Super Video.Danke!
Thanks, and your're welcome!
@@MidwestGardener спасибо ❤
I am down in Texas and been growing this variety since 5/22/22 and the plant is still so small. Any tips on how to get my tomato plants to grow well in harsh weather. Thanks
Shade cloth can help sometimes. Also, a good early head start can help too if possible.
I think I started my planting season late but we have long growing season so decided to go for it anyways. I have ordered shade cloths and calcium fertilizer to try. Thanks for taking the time to respond.
You're welcome! Hope it does well for you!
Did you ever figure out what your problem is? I have the problem of my Black Cherries growing too much.
I will be looking for the seeds or transplant and maybe try it next year, Nice looking tomato.
It's a good one.
Did you build that cage yourself? I have black cherry tomatoes that I used a cage from Lowes for and they've way outgrown it!!! Looking for a remedy for when I plant this variety next year
Yes, I did make those cages myself. Here is a video I did on them: ruclips.net/video/AKci1dELqhs/видео.html

No, I haven't grown Amish Paste. It sounds like it works well in your area though, so that is good.
@@MidwestGardener try it. Your tomatoes seem to look best
Of course I was here!
:)
I grew them this year. Got seeds from SOW TRUE SEEDS. These are my favorite really fruity
I'm glad that you like them, Charles. I've heard from quite a few folks who rank them as one of their favorites.
I am glad it made your keep it list. I like thinks you can depend on. Thanks for the review. Did it have a real tomato taste. Or just sweet?
Yes, it had a tomato taste, with just a hint of sweetness.
nice video
awesome share how hot is it there or has been now? thank for sharing thumbs up
Over 100 a few times, mid to upper 90s a bunch of times.
whew...I can tell you we are glad to be back in our lil temperate zone here...while as a gardener I might like a bit more heat for some stuff to grow better here.. it sure is nice to be in a temperate cooler climate
Mark Thieme
I bet it is nice.
Hey there, are the black cherry tomatoes determinate or indeterminate
They are indeterminate, and ours grew to about 10 feet.
@@MidwestGardener thank you so much, i apprectiate the fast reply!
@@jjjarrash9936 You're welcome!
Are they similar in color to the indigo rose
No, they are not.
I Love tomatoes. I wants seeds.
If you do a quick search these are probably available for sale on the internet.
What kind of fertilizer?
I can't remember for sure, but I don't think I even gave it any fertilizer. I almost always add some homemade compost though. When I do fertilize tomatoes, I usually add some when I plant, and not after that. My soil is pretty good stuff.

Thanks for the comment.
As bad people neither donate nor American exchange are bad selfish.
Sorry about that.
Video says "From SEEDLING to Harvest"!!!!! CLICKBAIT!
Sorry you feel that way. At the beginning of the video, the plant is a seedling. Though the middle of the video, the plant is shown through different stages of growth. And at the end of the video I do a taste test of tomatoes harvested from the plant. So the video progresses from seedling to harvest.
I actually really enjoy this way of presenting the variety. Am sowing this variety at the moment. Hoping it does well under partial shade.
