Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
Barry's Crazy Cherry tomato grows best in full sun and well-draining, nutrient-rich soil. Regular pruning helps manage the plant’s vigorous growth. Meanwhile, staking or caging is necessary to support the heavy fruit clusters.
When to Grow
Start seeds indoors 6-10 weeks before the last expected frost date. Once the danger of frost has passed and nighttime temperatures are consistently above 50 F, transplant the seedlings outdoors. In warmer climates, you can plant them from mid-spring through early summer.
How to Sow and Plant
Sow seeds about 1/8 inch deep in trays, keeping the soil moist and at a temperature between 70-80 F for optimal germination. Transplant seedlings when they have several true leaves, spacing them about 24 inches apart. This gives enough room for air circulation and helps prevent diseases.
How to Grow
This variety requires full sun, about 6-8 hours daily, and consistent watering, avoiding the leaves to reduce disease risk. A balanced fertilizer every few weeks helps support the plant’s high fruit output. Barry’s Crazy cherry tomatoes do well in both ground and large containers, as long as proper support is provided.
How to Save
- Most tomatoes are self-pollinating and don't frequently cross; in a garden setting, separating by 25 feet should prevent 99% of cross-pollination. Or you can bag and hand pollinate for 100% purity.
- On a small scale, seeds may be scooped from the fruits and dried on a paper towel.
- For larger quantities or cleaner seeds, fermentation for a few days is recommended.
- Once dry, tomato seed can be stored in a cool, dry, dark place; good seed retains viability for 5 years or more.
