What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Experience the rich color and flavor of Black Cherry Tomato Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds. This cherished heirloom produces clusters of deep red-purple, mahogany-toned cherry tomatoes on vigorous indeterminate vines. Known for their sweet, layered flavor and striking appearance, Black Cherry tomatoes thrive in full sun and adapt well to in-ground beds, containers, and even hydroponic systems—making them a versatile choice for gardeners of all skill levels.

Dark, Sweet, and Beautifully Complex:
Black Cherry tomatoes stand out for their dusky color, tender skins, and balanced sweetness with subtle smoky undertones. The 1-inch round fruits are flavorful right off the vine and add vibrant color to salads, snacks, and fresh dishes.

Why Customers Love Black Cherry Tomatoes:

  • Produces abundant 1" dark mahogany cherry tomatoes
  • Sweet, complex flavor with excellent snacking quality
  • Indeterminate heirloom vines for continuous summer harvests
  • Vigorous, drought-tolerant plants suited to containers or garden beds
  • Ideal for fresh eating, salads, and colorful culinary presentations

How to Grow:
Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before your last frost date. Transplant outdoors once weather is consistently warm, choosing a sunny location and well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. Provide staking, caging, or trellising to support the vigorous vines and encourage airflow. Water deeply and regularly to maintain steady growth and high yields.

Harvest & Use:
Pick fruits when they turn deep reddish-purple and feel slightly firm. Enjoy fresh in salads, as a garden snack, or as a colorful addition to appetizers and roasted dishes. Their rich, complex flavor makes them a standout among cherry tomato varieties.
