A dwarf purple with violet tones cherry tomato rich in anthocyanins, with a mild and balanced flavor.

What makes Dwarf Mocha’s Cherry memorable is the deep purple color on the sun-exposed parts of its fruits. Its round, dark purple cherry tomatoes are rich in anthocyanins. Their mild flavor, accompanied by a slight hint of acidity, offers a pleasant balance. Their flesh is meaty and juicy.

Its very compact plant reaches about 45–50 cm (18–20 inches) tall and produces lovely clusters of colorful cherry tomatoes.

Dwarf Mocha’s Cherry was developed as part of the Dwarf Tomato Project, a collaborative dwarf tomato breeding project involving Craig LeHoullier.

Every variety has its own personality. The best tomato isn’t the one that everyone likes, but the one that finds its place in your garden, your kitchen, and your habits.
