Love Sungold? Meet Honey Drop!

Fruition’s most popular cherry tomato, Honey Drop has all the rich fruit flavor we love in a gorgeous rainbow of orange, gold and salmon. Abundant and less prone to cracking compared to Sungold, Honey Drop Tomato is open-pollinated as well, so she’s delicious without the bitter intellectual property restrictions and support of multi-national chemical corporations as surrounds Sungold.

After millennia of brilliant indigenous seedkeeping, Honey Drop Tomato is vision of Rachel and Tevis Robertson-Goldberg of Crabapple Farm in the beautiful Massachusetts Berkshires and their tomato-loving children! Plant breeding can be done without lab coats, let it be known! A portion of every packet sold returns to their farm to support their inspiring work, continuing to select delectable, resilient varieties for short seasons.

When to sow: 6-8 weeks before last frost

Seed Depth: 1/8 inch Days to Germination: 7-10 at 80°F (27°C)

Sowing and seedling care: Don’t start too early! Sow indoors 2 seeds/cell or soil block, & thin to 1. We recommend sowing on a heat mat at 80°F to emergence, 75°F after. Good light is essential: Younger, less stressed seedlings are healthier and more abundant than older, more stressed seedlings. Pot up to 3-4” pots when first true leaves, submerging 3/4 of the stem below soil.

When to transplant: Harden off & transplant outdoors after frost, again burying stem.

Strong 3′ trellis optional but helpful. Water soil, not leaves. Prune lowest stem “suckers” as they emerge.

Harvest: A scrumptious snack straight off the vine!
