Sugar cherry tomato is a cherry tomato variety with a high sugar content and low acidity, with small round fruits gathered in abundant clusters.
It belongs to the species Solanum lycopersicum, family Solanaceae. An indeterminate-growth plant, vigorous and productive throughout the whole cycle, with regular clusters along the entire stem.
Sow in a heated seedbed between February and March, with soil temperature between 20 and 25°C; transplant into the field after the last frosts.
It prefers fertile, well-drained soil, sunny exposure and regular watering; the plant needs staking and periodic side-shoot removal to support continuous production.
Harvest is staggered from July to September, picking fruits at full red colouring: the longer they stay on the plant, the higher the sugar concentration.
It can be affected by downy mildew, alternaria and blossom-end rot in case of irregular watering; crop rotation and good ventilation help prevent the main plant diseases.
Thanks to their very sweet taste and low acidity, the small fruits are enjoyed fresh as a snack, in salads or to garnish dishes that need a touch of natural sweetness.
Rich in lycopene, vitamin C and potassium, Sugar tomato has antioxidant properties beneficial to overall wellbeing.
