FAQs

When are cherry tomatoes ready to pick?

Cherry tomatoes generally ripen around 60 days or so after planting. They are ready to pick when the color has changed from green to red -- or orange or yellow, depending on the type of cherry tomatoes you planted -- and they are easy to remove from the stem. 

How do you pick cherry tomatoes?

Ripe cherry tomatoes are very easy to harvest and will practically fall off the stem with very little effort. You don't even need scissors or a pruner. To pick cherry tomatoes, use gentle pressure to pull them off the vine one by one. If all of the cherry tomatoes in a cluster are ripe, you can also snip off the entire stem.

What is the best way to store cherry tomatoes?

Store cherry tomatoes at room temperature on the counter in a bowl and plan to eat them in a few days.

Can you freeze cherry tomatoes?

Yes, cherry tomatoes are really easy to freeze! Just wash and dry them, place them on a baking sheet in a single layer, and freeze. Once frozen, transfer the cherry tomatoes to an airtight container or freezer bag.
