Notes
'Sakura' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Sakura') is a vegetable for food gardens and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is not a favorite of rabbits, though hungry rabbits will eat almost anything. The fruit is ready about 55 days after planting, and the red flowers attract bees.
Pairs well with Long Island Mammoth dill, Santo cilantro, and Cool Customer cucumber.
