    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Amazing, super long tresses of gorgeous, bright scarlet red cherry tomatoes (paired along the vine) dangle straight down as much as two feet(!) and hold as many as 40 tomatoes each! Oh my gosh, this plant is unbelievably beautiful! But what good is beautiful if the taste isn’t great, right? Exactly! Never fear, ‘Rapunzel’ has been bred for exquisite cherry tomato sweet taste, with a hint of acid, perfect texture and performance! To show off its best features and to grow the healthiest tomatoes, stake it high and tall, rather than wide, and grow it in a sheltered sunny spot with good draining rich soil. ‘Rapunzel’ can easily be grown in a wine barrel or large container. Snip your long locks of fruit when most have ripened on the vine, leaving some to continue ripening after picked. That way you can enjoy the presentation of these stunning tresses as you snack on them or share them at a dinner party!
