F1 Cherry Falls

Cherry Falls Tomatoes

If you're short on space but big on flavour, Cherry Falls is the perfect tomato for you! This brilliant trailing variety produces masses of sweet, bright red cherry tomatoes that tumble beautifully from hanging baskets, tubs, or pots. It’s heavy cropping, easy to grow, and ideal for patios, balconies, and compact gardens — a real showstopper that delivers non-stop summer snacking!

Best Time to Plant

• Greenhouse: April
• Outdoors: 3rd week of May, after the frosts have gone
If an unexpected frost hits, leaves may turn blue — plants usually recover unless the main stem collapses.

Harvest

Around 8 weeks after planting, once fruits are red, shiny, and fully swollen.

Growing Instructions

• Planting: Plant 45cm apart in well-drained soil, a large pot, or ideally a hanging basket in a greenhouse.
• Hardening Off: Without a greenhouse, grow indoors until frost risk has passed, then acclimatise outdoors over 4–6 days.
• Growth Habit: Plants naturally trail downward — no side-shoot pinching needed.
• Watering: Keep well watered until established, and maintain consistent moisture in dry spells.
• Support: As fruit clusters grow, a little gentle support may help prevent breakage.
• Feeding: Feed only once 3–4 tomatoes per truss begin to swell — not before.
• Maintenance: Remove any dead or yellowing leaves as the plant grows.

Top Tips

• Keep Watering Even: Irregular watering causes splitting and blossom-end rot — keep soil moist but not soggy.
• No Manure: Avoid farmyard manure — residue herbicides can severely damage tomatoes.
• Perfect for Small Spaces: Maximise yield by placing baskets or pots in the sunniest, warmest spot you have.
• Pick Often: Regular harvesting encourages even more sweet cherry tomatoes to form.
