Solanum lycopersicum

Brown Berry is an unusual cherry tomato producing clusters of small, round fruits that ripen to a rich mahogany-brown with dusky green shoulders. The flesh is dark red-brown, giving the fruit the distinctive colouring associated with black and purple heirloom tomatoes.

The flavour is sweet, rich and slightly smoky, with more depth than many traditional cherry tomatoes. Excellent eaten straight from the vine, the fruits also add striking colour to salads, bruschetta and mixed tomato platters.

A vigorous indeterminate variety, Brown Berry continues flowering and setting fruit throughout the growing season, producing generous clusters over an extended period. The climbing vines benefit from sturdy staking or trellising.

Seed count: approximately 250–400 seeds per gram. Approximately 40 seeds per packet.

Planting / Sowing

Sow approximately 5 mm deep into seed-raising mix or directly where conditions are warm. In cooler climates, seed can be started indoors approximately five weeks before transplanting after the last frost. Best soil temperature for germination is approximately 16–35°C.

Space plants approximately 40–60 cm apart with 60–150 cm between rows. Grow in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil and provide sturdy staking or trellising for the climbing vines. Water at soil level where possible and avoid waterlogged conditions.

Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.
