- Disease resilience
- Heat tolerant
- Productive in cooler climates
Although ‘Tommy Toe’ heralds from the Ozark region of the USA, first recorded in the early 1900’s, and is known for its heat tolerance, we found it to be extremely productive in a series of cooler seasons . It is also extremely productive from early season to late. It is classified as a cherry tomato but is larger in size – it takes two bites- making it a great salad tomato. Tommy Toe has a classic tomato flavour, not a super sweet. It is a reliable producer, heavy yielder and pure in taste.

TRANSPLANT (recommended) – Start transplants 5- 6 weeks before planting date. Sow seeds 6mm deep, 4 seeds/2.5cm. Lightly cover. Keep mix at 23-28°C. Pot up into 5cm or larger cells after first set of true leaves appear. For growing transplants, maintain temperature at around 22°C during the day and 18°C at night
Harden off plants by slightly reducing temperature to 15-18°C and reducing water for 2-3 days before transplanting.
NOTE - Don't start too early—leggy, root-bound, or flowering transplants can cause stunting and reduce early production. Avoid exposing unprotected plants to consecutive nightly temperatures below 7°C.
