Chocolate Drop Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) - An heirloom variety that produces a continuum of dark red-brown, bell shaped drops of sweetness. This variety is similar to Chocolate Pear but with better disease resistance and somewhat larger, ovular fruit. We have grown both and find this strain superior to the 'pear'. Indeterminate plants require some support to keep heavy yielding branches off the ground.
Indeterminate growth.
70 days to maturity.
25 seeds per packet.
Planting Instructions:
Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost. Sow 1/4 inch deep and keep soil warm. Transplant into 1 inch cells or 3-4 inch pots at 1-2 leaf stage. Harden off plants for 4-5 days after risk of frost has passed. Transplant outdoors once day and night temperatures are consistently above 10 degrees Celsius.
