Chocolate Cherry tough skin?

flyfiishn · June 23, 2014

Getting my first rounds of chocolate cherries and although the taste is excellent the skins are a bit tough compared to all my other cherry toms (sungold, sweet 100).

Wondering if this is perhaps climatic or if others have had similar experiences with choc. cherry. Going to try black cherry next year to see if any difference.

All of my cherry tomatoes are kicking out ripe fruit daily now, which makes my 2 year old son very happy. He helps me pick them and occasionally some make it back for a salad.
