Matt's Hornet Tomato

Solanum lycopersicum. Matt's Hornet Tomato is a standout early-season cherry variety that delivers impressive, early yields on compact, manageable indeterminate vines. Maturing on plants that typically reach only around four feet in height, it packs heavy loads of bullet-shaped, red fruits adorned with golden stripes without smothering nearby garden space.

Derived from a cross involving Matt's Wild Cherry, it offers exceptional, sweet-acid flavor with meaty flesh and produces abundant, blemish-free tomatoes even in 90-degree heat. Outstanding for container gardening and warm, humid climates, this heavy producer is an ideal choice for reliable early harvests.
