Today I thought I would share with you one of my tomato plants 🌿that I'm growing on my patio. The variety I'm talking about today is the "Chocolate Sprinkles Cherry Tomato". I thought I would give you some growing information about this plant and share my experience of growing it.
Let me start off by saying "I just love it."
This tomato has proven to be very easy to grow in a pot and produces many tomatoes on the vine. In fact it's considered a high yield plant. This plant is also considered indeterminate and I have never been without tomatoes on this plant. Every week I get more and more and more tomatoes. And the best part is.... it produces fruit all the way up until frost. Yep it's a high yield plant for sure.
The beautiful color of the fruit:
The fruit of this tomato is several different shades of red and orange. It has what's kind-of a chocolate color stripe on the skin but actually it's a green tone stripe that just looks chocolate when it's up against the other orange and red colors. The tomatoes are so colorful that they look very nice displayed in a flower pot. I just love the color pattern.
The Size of the tomatoes:
This tomato is considered a cherry tomato but not at all the size of the tiny little "sweet 100" varieties that are so popular. Nope this tomato is twice the size of that but still a small tomato that you could put whole on top of a beautiful salad.
Plant Groth:
This tomato will take full sun or at least 6 hours of sun. It grows to be 5 to 7 feet tall. My plant that I have is already 7 feet tall and just beautiful. I don't expect it to grow any taller but if it does I'm going to keep it topped. (cut) So it stays thick and doesn't get leggy.
Another great part about growing this tomato is the fact that it never splits. I love how all the tomatoes turn out perfect.
Fruit
The fruits are firm and is considered a full bodied tomato. It has a sweet tomato flavor with a high brix level. Brix level simply means it's the level of the sugar content in the tomato.
The Chocolate Sprinkles variety produces it's fruit in trusses.
Trusses are the clusters of stems on the vine where the fruit develops. You can see a good view of the trusses on the video I created about it. So be sure to watch and get a better view.

In Closing:
Growing the "Chocolate Sprinkles" variety of tomato in a flower pot has been a no brainer. lol! I really couldn't ask for an easier plant to grow or a prettier tomato to grow. So far I have not experienced any bug or disease problem at all. And.... I'm very happy with the look of the plant.
Thanks for visiting everyone! Love Pam
