CHERRY BUZZ

Product Description:

55 days. One of the earliest tomatoes to ripen at our trial grounds, it not only produces loads of tasty, bite-sized treats before the tomato season truly kicks in, it also continues to pump them out throughout the summer.

Loads of flavor

These have been my go-to cherry tomatoes for a few years now. I dehydrate most of them and then have crunchy little tomato bombs for snacking on or throwing into salads all winter long.

Delicious!!

I was nervous at first but when my little cherry buzz tomato plants started to grow, they did not stop! I easily harvested between 10-20 per day/ per plant, sometimes more (it's September and I am still harvesting but 5-10 per day). They are juicy and delicious! Also they were perfect in my homemade salsa. I highly recommend and will be getting more for next summer!

There are better choices

Cherry Buzz tomatoes grow and produce well. The skins are quite thick making them less appealing to eat. They are listed as crack resistant but many of these cracked while none of the other varieties in my garden cracked. Sweet 100s are much better tasting and do much better in my garden.

Cherry Buzz

I purchased these seeds along with several other tomatoes. Planted at the same time, however the cherry buss seedlings have not grow beyond the first set of tsmall true leaves. I used the same seed starting mix as the other tomatoes, which are now six inches high and doing very well. Meanwhile cherry buss is still struggling at less than an inch with no further growth. I have never had this problem before.

Lycopersicon lycopersicum The first ripe, juicy tomato of summer is a delicious milestone of the season for gardeners. Each year we test and evaluate more than 250 tomato varieties to bring you the most flavorful, best performing selections, for every desired use.

Days to maturity are calculated from date of transplant.

Culture
Determinate tomatoes: grow compactly, sprawling laterally, usually do not require staking, and fruit ripens over a short period of time
Indeterminate tomatoes: grow on long vines, generally require pruning to 1 or 2 leaders that need to be trellised
• Fertile, well-drained raised beds covered with plastic mulch promote early growth and better yields
• Tomatoes are high feeders and will benefit from regular fertilization with Age Old Bloom
• To prevent blossom end rot use a high calcium amendment
• Overwatering can cause fruit to crack

Direct Sowing
• Not recommended

Transplanting
• Sow seeds in trays 6-8 weeks before anticipated transplant date; up-pot into 3-4 inch pots when the first set of true leaves appears
• Strong light and cooler temperatures (60-70°F) prevent plants from getting leggy
• Fertilize with Age Old Grow every 10-14 days
• When transplanting work in compost, 1/2 cup of TSC's Complete fertilizer, and handful of bone meal
• Determinates can be spaced 18-24 inches apart, indeterminates 24-36 inches apart
• Tomatoes can be buried up to the top 2 sets of leaves
• Use Kozy-Coats or Victorian Bell Cloches to protect young plants

Insects & Diseases
Common insects: Flea beetles and tomato hornworms
Insect control: Pyrethrin or row cover for flea beetles, and Monterey B.t. for tomato hornworms
Common diseases: Early and late blight
Disease prevention: A strict 3-4 year rotation, remove vines at the end of the year, fungicide

Harvest & Storage
• Harvest when fully ripe, do not refrigerate for best flavor
• Green fruit should be ripened in a cool, dark area; make sure fruit are not touching
