Pre-Order your Green Bee Cherry tomato plant(s) today. These plants will be available in mid to late May.
A favorite for chefs and growers for its tangy flavor, firm texture, and extraordinary shelf life. A crispy-ripe tomato with tremendous culinary potential, Green Bee has appeared on menus in the San Francisco Bay Area in a variety of dishes. Very firm texture is ideal for grilling and roasting, but Green Bee can also be used for pickling, gazpacho, salsa fresca... you name it! A great choice for eaters who do not typically like fresh tomatoes, as the "tomatoey" flavors are muted in this variety. When left on the vine, it can even develop hints of stone fruit flavor. Fruits avg. 25–30 gm. Best picked when skin develops a clear yellow-orange hue, or later, because fruit can hold for a long time on the vine without cracking or softening. Can be stored for a few weeks at room temperature or 2–3 months at 55°. These are indeterminate plants which will require trellising.
Green Bee Cherry Tomato Plants are grown from conventional seed. All of our potting soil is Certified for Organic Use.
Certified Naturally Grown using Regenerative techniques.
DTM (days to maturity): 75 days from transplant
Growing Instructions:
Avoid exposing unprotected plants to consecutive nightly temperatures below 45°F.
Plant in rows 4–6ft apart, space 24–36in between plants.
Plant deeply to encourage rooting.
Water seedlings with a high-phosphate fertilizer solution at planting to help boost early yields.
Pruning:
Indeterminates likely benefit by removing all suckers under the first strong branch directly below the first flower cluster.
The lower bottom suckers often miss trellis supports, set fruit closer to soil, take energy from upper parts, and encourage spread of disease from soil.
If needed later in season, consider thinning out leaves to increase airflow or topping plants to help finish ripening last fruits.
