Cherrybomb Hot Tomato

Season Overview

Description

The plants of this chilli variety grow branched, bushy and grow up to 80 cm tall. It is a typical cherry bomb variety whose fruits are somewhat reminiscent of the shape of a heart-shaped tomato. They ripen bright red and have thick, juicy fruit walls with a typical paprika-chilli aroma and medium heat. They are ideal for eating fresh, stuffing, grilling and pickling.

Growing tips

Chili should be grown in nutrient-rich soil in a sunny location. For a rich harvest, the first flower (terminal bud/'king flower') should be broken off. This promotes flower and fruit formation on the side shoots. However, this is not as important for chili peppers as it is for peppers. Pull the plants with 3-4 shoots and remove the remaining shoots. In Central Europe, cultivation is usually annual, but the highest yield is only achieved 2-3 years after planting. To achieve this, the plant must be overwintered indoors. The fruit is harvested from July to September, depending on the variety and weather conditions.
