Overview
Tommy Toe is a much-loved Australian heirloom that sits between a cherry and a slicer: round red fruit about an inch across, golf-ball sized, with a rich, balanced flavor many growers prefer to modern cherry hybrids. Plants are vigorous, heavy-yielding indeterminates with good disease tolerance, producing steadily through a long season, so stake or cage firmly. Start seed 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost at 70 to 80F, set out into rich, freely draining ground in full sun, and keep picking to keep the vines setting.
