The use of stakes and / or a trellis can be beneficial in growing Black Cherry Tomatoes, since the fruits can pull the vines downwards.
Black From Tula produces beesteak like tomatoes with a red-black outer skin. The plants reach a mature height of about 4 feet tall, producing large, 14 ounce fruits throughout the summer months, up until mid to late Fall. Because Tomato plants are categorized as an annual plant, they will grow quickly from seeds, produce their fruits for a few weeks, and will later die with cooler temperatures and frost. Tomato plants are popularly grown all over the United States in many home gardens. Black From Tula dates back to the late 1990's, providing delicious meaty fruits every year for tomato lovers across America.
