FAQs

What is the main benefit of the 'Cherry Falls' F1 variety?

The primary benefit is its unique trailing habit, producing abundant sweet cherry tomatoes that cascade beautifully from hanging baskets and containers, making it ideal for small spaces and decorative edible gardening.

How tall does the upright part of the plant grow?

The main body of the plant grows to approximately 15cm (6 inches) tall, with trailing stems that can reach up to 90cm (3 feet) long.

When is the best time to sow these seeds?

Sow seeds indoors from January to April. Transplant outdoors after the risk of frost has completely passed.

Can I grow this tomato in a small pot?

Yes, this variety is excellent for containers and hanging baskets. Ensure the pot is deep enough to accommodate the trailing stems and provides good drainage.

How much sun does it need?

Tomato 'Cherry Falls' F1 performs best in a sunny, sheltered spot, ideally receiving at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.

What kind of soil should I use?

Use a good quality seed compost for sowing indoors. For planting out or in containers, a well-draining, fertile compost or soil mix is recommended.

How often should I water?

Keep the compost consistently moist, but avoid waterlogging. Water more frequently during hot weather and when the plant is fruiting.

Troubleshooting

Seeds not germinating

Ensure seeds are fresh and sown at the correct depth. Maintain consistent warmth and moisture in the compost. Verify that the sowing conditions meet the temperature requirements for tomato seeds.

Leggy seedlings

Seedlings are likely not receiving enough light. Move them to a brighter location or provide artificial grow lights. Ensure they are not overcrowded.

Yellowing leaves

This can indicate overwatering, underwatering, or a nutrient deficiency. Check soil moisture levels and adjust watering. Consider a balanced liquid feed if the plant is established and has not been fed recently.

Lack of fruit set

Ensure the plant is receiving adequate sunlight and has been properly pollinated. Consistent watering and appropriate feeding can also improve fruit set.

Blossom end rot on fruit

This is typically caused by inconsistent watering and calcium deficiency. Ensure steady soil moisture and consider a calcium supplement if the issue persists.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Visually appealing cascading growth habit.

  • Excellent for small spaces and container gardening.
  • Early season harvests.
  • Adds ornamental value to gardens.

Cons

  • Requires a sunny and sheltered location.
  • Plants need consistent watering.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Sowing Indoors:

  1. Sow seeds indoors from January to April.
  2. Use a good quality seed compost.
  3. Plant seeds at a depth of approximately 0.5cm (1/4 inch).
  4. Keep the compost consistently moist but not waterlogged.
  5. Provide a warm environment for germination.

Transplanting:

  1. Transplant seedlings outdoors only after all risk of frost has passed in your area.
  2. Choose a sunny and sheltered location for optimal growth.
  3. If planting in containers or hanging baskets, ensure adequate drainage.
  4. Space plants appropriately if growing multiple in a larger container.

Care:

  • Watering: Keep compost consistently moist, especially during dry spells and fruiting. Avoid overhead watering to reduce disease risk.
  • Feeding: Once established and fruiting, a balanced liquid feed can be beneficial.
  • Support: While the plant trails, ensuring the container is stable is important. For very long trailers, occasional light pruning might encourage bushier growth, though not strictly necessary.
  • Sunlight: Requires a minimum of 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
