The Red Currant Tomato Seeds grow into a vibrant heirloom tomato variety that produces tiny, glossy red fruits in heavy clusters on every vine. These miniature tomatoes resemble currants or berries, offering an explosion of juice and flavour in every bite. Each branch can carry dozens of fruits, making this variety perfect for salads, snacking straight from the garden, garnishing dishes, or adding a burst of colour to your kitchen harvest.
These Red Currant Tomato Seeds are indeterminate, meaning the plants continue growing and fruiting throughout the season. The fruits are naturally sweet, mildly tangy, and have thin skins that burst with flavour. This exotic variety performs wonderfully in Indian climates when given proper sunlight and care. Whether grown in pots, terrace gardens, or open beds, this tomato delivers continuous harvesting and visual appeal with its abundant, berry-like fruits.

Choose a 12x12 inch grow bag or bigger pot with good drainage. Fill with a rich mix of garden soil, compost, and cocopeat. Sow 2–3 seeds and keep moist until germination. After seedlings reach 5–6 inches, keep the strongest one and provide staking or a small trellis to support heavy fruit clusters. Place the pot in full sun for best results.

Sowing: Sow seeds 0.5–1 cm deep and gently cover with soil.
Watering: Keep soil evenly moist, never soggy.

Transplanting: Move seedlings with 4–5 leaves to final spacing of 45–60 cm.
Sunlight: Provide 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Soil: Loamy, well-drained soil rich in organic matter.
Fertilization: Feed every 10–15 days for consistent fruiting.
