The new pink cherry tomato called ‘Sweet Treats’ is genetically different from red cherry tomatoes in the way it looks and tastes.
Gardeners in the U.S. can get a discernment of the pink tomato favored by the Japanese if they grow the unexampled ‘ Sweet Treats ’ cherry red tomato from Sakata Seed Company . I gave this miscellany a effort this time of year and I have to say I ’m tickle pink with the issue .
Sakata Seed Company sent me a free packet of seed early in the season with an invitation to seek the new intercrossed tomato . The promotional material touted this variety as “ one of the first pink cherry tree tomatoes in the world . ”
It was still cold and wintry around here when the semen arrived , so it did n’t take much to convert me to try a new Lycopersicon esculentum . I thirstily look to seeing its “ beautiful coloring ” and savoring its “ phenomenal flavor . ”

I started the seed indoors in other April and waited until the first weekend in June to transplant the seedlings outside . The plant learn off almost like a shot and the tomatoes that grew in clusters took less than 70 days to maturate after plant . I started harvesting ‘ Sweet Treats ’ this week and I ’m well-chosen to say these sweeties experience up to their billing .
The tomatoes are a courteous pinkish coloring , globe - shaped and orotund than a distinctive cerise tomato . I planted one tomato plant plant in a container for the patio and post it with a love apple cage .
The vines grew easily and I did n’t acknowledge any problems with the leaves or tomato plant cracking . Other than fertilizing several times with an all - natural land conditioner tea , I did n’t do anything peculiar to the growing environment .

This indeterminate industrial plant seems like it will be a good manufacturer and I look to picking tomatoes into the evenfall , depending on the weather .
These pinkish cherry Lycopersicon esculentum are slender - skinned and they have a good grain . One taster said , “ They seem to have a big tomato gustation concentrate into their small size . They ’re thoroughgoing for snacking right off the vine . ”
I ’d recommend this cherry tomato to any gardener concerned in try out a unexampled variety for next season . seeded player and plants are useable from a figure of garden centers and on-line retailers . More information is also useable fromSakata Seed America .

The vantage to growing ‘ Sweet Treats ’ from seed is that each mail boat includes a recipe for using these short jewel .
