Blondkopfchen ( Blond-copf-shen)  ($9.95)  65 days.
 

 

One of the finest tasting cherry tomato in existence, the name of this marvelous German heirloom cutie means Little Blond Head or Little Blond Girl.

 

The big leafy plant produces thousands of ½" grape-size sparkling yellow-gold cherry tomatoes in phenomenal clusters of 30 fruits per bunch!

 

Delightfully sweet with a citrusy finish, this is the one to try with children who don't think they like tomatoes. As Gary Ibsen of Tomatofest.com says, " Just put one in your mouth and try to keep from smiling!"

 

No cracking, with great disease resistance, this little sweetie grows anywhere and produces right up until frost. Challenging to pronounce, really easy to eat.

 

 

    

Blue Chocolate ($9.95) 75 days.

We are crazy in love with these yummy, gorgeous, 1½ oz. golf ball size chocolate-brown fruits with exotic, blue shoulders. Not a cherry, this size fruit is called a 'saladette' tomato.

Growing on a big unruly plant and covered with delicious fruit, this is another stunner from the Amazing Brad Gates of Wild Boar Farms.

Perfectly round, sweet and rich, Blue Chocolate grows on big unruly plants in generous clusters.

These tomatoes hold well on the vine so you can let them stay there when ripe for a few days, they won't get soft or overripe.

Crack resistant, (yay!) disease resistant (more yay!), easy to grow and a perfect salad and slicing tomato for your family.

This very unusual plant makes a fabulous gift for foodie friends, new and old, looking for something rare and wonderful from the heirloom world to grow in their tomato gardens.

Our top selling black cherry variety - for 18 years. 

Foxy Lady Cherry 68 days ($9.95) 

 

A spectacular cross of Cherokee Purple and Black Cherry!
 

After misplacing a packet of 700 seeds, I had to take our top-selling Foxy Lady Cherry off the list briefly until my new plants produced enough fruits to save seeds.

 

Dozens of customers asked about it. "Hey Laurel, what the heck?"  Sorry ~ and YAY!!!

 

The incredible Foxy Lady Cherry ripens in only 68 days from plant-out.

 

Growing in clusters of 5 to 7 fruits beautiful plants.  The flavor is energizing, dazzling with a sweet, seductive background and earthy nuance.

 

A tiny touch of tang balances its big full-bodied sweetness. I am madly in love with this tomato.

 

 

 

 

Gardener's Delight, also known as 'Sugar Lump'. ($9.95
)
60 days (VE)  
    

 

This old German variety is probably the sweetest and most prolific of all the old-time cherry tomatoes.

 

With classic cherry growth habit and old-time rich sweet flavors, 'Sugar Lump' is disease resistant, early ripening and really prolific -- the perfect cherry tomato.

 

Thin skinned and really productive, in clusters of 7 to 9 fruits on a strong plant, it's great for containers and the main garden bed.

Rapunzel  ($12.95) 70 days.  (H)

 

Yes, I know.... but it is real.  I get dozens of  calls and emails from gardeners searching for Rapunzel plants. Here it is! 

 

Because a few callers doubted that this plant can actually produce trusses this long, the photo is a Rapunzel plant grown by my customer Jeff Hartang. Yay Jeff!

 

This awesome hybrid produces tremendously long clusters of bright red, one inch, sweet juicy tomatoes all season long. The fruits themselves have a sweet rich flavor and the ridiculously dazzling trusses will have you doing a double-take. 

 

Some of the 'strands'  hold more than 40 tomatoes. Pretty cool.  Great for containers!

 

This plant makes a delightful gift for gardeners of all ages -- especially kids and grandmas-- and grows easily in all climates and is disease resistant, too.

Sun Gold ($9.95
55 days. 

 

This is the one of the best cherry tomatoes I've ever tasted and ready to pick in only 55-60 days.

 

It has the big, elaborate flavor of a full-size tomato, in a beautiful little deep-golden fruit growing in bountiful clusters on a huge plant. Sweet, rich, so pretty and productive.

 

Most of them won't make it into your house from the garden. If you send someone to pick them for you, keep your binoculars trained upon the picker.  There may be a ruckus.

 

 

Sunrise Bumblebee ($9.95
)  70 days

 

What can I say?  I've never seen anything prettier in the cherry tomato world. Huge harvests, too. This a very special cherry tomato, an astounding artisan variety. Please put this plant into your garden -- but remember -- it will make you way too popular. Looks amazing in a salad with Purple Bumblebee.

 

Sunrise Bumblebee is plump and bountiful, crammed full of old- time sweet, juicy, pop-in-your-mouth tomato flavors and just as cute as it can be. This is the tomato you would steal from your neighbors in the middle of the night. But don't; grow your own.

Velvet Night Cherry  (Dwarf plant) ($9.95
)
65 days  

 

These sweet, yummy, deep-purple cherry tomatoes grow on a small dwarf plant! Of all the cherries from the dwarf family, Velvet Night is the absolute best.

 

High production, fabulous flavor, very much like Black Cherry and Foxy Lady, but growing on a small shrubby plant.

 

Grow it in a 2 gallon pot!

 

If you have a limited garden space and crave a really sweet, rich flavored cherry tomato, this is the one for you!

 

Lots of 1 to 2 ounce cherry tomatoes will keep your tomato taste buds really happy all season long -- and you'll have enough to share with friends and neighbors.

 


 

 

Like SunGold, but a smaller plant, with no cracking!

 

Wee Tang Shebang  ($10.95) 55 - 60 days

 

Another dazzling heirloom from legendary tomato breeder Tom Wagner.

 

Although I don't know if Sun Gold is in its parent line, if you love Sun Gold, this is the plant for you!

 

I would describe Wee Tang Shebang as  a petite plant as heirlooms go, but not 'small'. Producing scads of gorgeous golden-orange tomatoes with all the dazzling flavor of Sun Gold, it's a smaller plant, about 4 to 5 ft tall and covered with tomatoes.

 

Ellie Pong of Bunny Hop Seeds sent me a sample of this one a couple of years ago.  AJ loved the name and grew out some plants for fun in our nursery. When it started producing I asked her, "Hey, what the heck is that?" She said, "Look at the label, Mom."

 

The flavor is SO good and the fruits are crack resistant.  

 

(Of the 30 in Adrienne's photograph, only one cracked! (YAY!)

 

 

 

   New for 2026!

 

Yellow Submarine ($9.95) 55 days. Little Tomato - Big Flavor! Ripe just 7 weeks from planting out and produce heavily right up to frost.

 

Aren't they pretty? photograph was taken at golden time - just watered, 90 minutes before sundown in late August.

 

A Laurel's exclusive! Yellow Submarine is a fabulous full-flavored tomato and about as cute as a tomato gets.

 

It is my go-to tomato for salads and halved in burgers and tacos.

 

My plant is still producing scads of fruit. Garden Candy! Try to keep from smiling when you pop one into your mouth.

Great hang-time (ripe and fresh on the vine) for at least a week AND excellent hold-time (ripe on the counter) too.  

 

I grow this little guy every year in my home garden, in a big 30 gallon SmartPot with our Happy Frog Potting Soil and Happy Frog Tomato and Vegetable Fertilizer along with Big Bloom and Great Big Tomatoes Liquids. We feed with all 3 on the same day.  SO fast and easy.

 

I've had customers glance at the photograph and expect a bland tomato  -- like Yellow Pear. NOPE. This one is a dazzler!
