The White Cherry is a popular heirloom cherry tomato variety known for its unique pale color and sweet flavor. It's an indeterminate plant (vining, produces throughout the season).
Fruit: Small cherry-sized tomatoes (about 1/2 to 2 ounces, roughly 1-2 inches in diameter). Color ranges from pale ivory/white to creamy yellow or pale yellow, depending on sun exposure (less sun keeps them paler; more sun brings out yellow tones).
Flavor: Exceptionally sweet and fruity, often described as tangy-citrusy or tropical. Great for fresh eating, snacking straight from the vine, salads, salsas, or canning.
Yield: Very productive, with heavy clusters of fruit. Plants resist cracking and are prolific.
Growth: Indeterminate vines grow tall (5+ feet), so staking or caging is recommended. Suitable for gardens, containers, or farmers' markets.
A closely related variety is Snow White Cherry, bred by Joe Bratka, which is praised as one of the sweetest cherries available—pale white to ivory, 1-2 oz fruits, also highly productive.
These pale "white" tomatoes add beautiful contrast in mixed salads or displays alongside red, yellow, and purple cherries.
Growth Habit — Indeterminate (vines continue growing and producing throughout the season).
Fruit Size — Medium, typically 6-8 oz (baseball-sized), round to slightly heart-shaped.
Color — Dark mahogany-brown to reddish-brown, often with darker green shoulders when ripening; considered one of the cleaner "black" tomatoes.
Yield — Very productive, with fruits borne in clusters of 3-6 (up to 6).
Notable Traits — Virtually blemish-free, crack-resistant, and uniform—making it excellent for market sales.
