Organic Dancing with Smurfs Cherry Tomato
Description
Purple! Tomatoes!
Each glossy, glorious fruit ripens from green to purple to purple-crimson, borne in prolific clusters with classic tomato flavor and a red heart. Organic Dancing with Smurfs Cherry Tomato has a wide window of delectability: When she’s slightly under-ripe, her deep purple fruit is more firm with flavor more bright acid; as she turns more fully ripe her skin turns crimson where the sun directly lands, her flesh softening and flavor deepening. We’ll always be so grateful for our dear friend and mentor Dan Brisebois of Tourne Sol Seeds in Montreal for introducing us to this fabulous tomato.
At Fruition, we sow tomatoes in soil blocks indoors 2 months before final frost, early April for us here in Zone 5, germinating them on heat mats with ease. Good light is essential: Younger, less stressed seedlings are healthier and more abundant than older, more stressed seedlings.

Had to give it a low star rating because of really poor germination. Out of the entire packet I planted, there was only 1 seed that germinated. I used a heat mat, excellent growing medium. My other tomatoes and peppers sown at the same time germinated much better. I do have one seedling, so hopefully it will be a good plant, but it’s clear there was something wrong with these seeds.
Heather –
Thanks so much for your feedback Jason. We are sorry to hear of the poor germination and would be happy to send out a replacement packet. Please reach out to heather@fruitionseeds.com and I will take care of you đ
Wishing you buckets of tomatoes and peppers! -Heather & The Fruition Team
