A productive, compact dwarf pink cherry tomato with a balanced sweet and tangy flavor.

What stands out about Johnson Cherry is its abundant production on a compact plant about 1 m tall. Its pink cherry tomatoes offer a nice balance between sweetness and acidity, with noticeable aromas that are not overpowering.

Its regular, rugose foliage is dense and sturdy. Its compact growth habit makes it suitable for growing in pots, on balconies or in small gardens, while still providing a generous harvest.

Johnson Cherry was developed as part of the Dwarf Tomato Project.

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.
