Bubbles Cherry Tomato – MIg

Description

Champagne Bubbles is a mini cherry tomato variety with a delicate, champagne-yellow hue and incredible sweetness—often described as one of the sweetest cherry tomatoes available. It’s an indeterminate, highly vigorous vine, offering abundant harvests and growing about 1.8 m tall with up to 1.2 m spread, making trellising essential. It’s also known for being heat-tolerant and relatively disease-resistant, ideal for UAE’s warm climate.

When to Plant in the UAE

• Start Indoors: Sow seeds early to mid-August in a warm, well-lit spot to promote reliable germination.

• Outdoors (Transplant): Move seedlings outdoors in early October, when the weather cools and nighttime temperatures stay above 15 °C.

• Outdoors (Direct Sowing): You may also sow seeds directly outdoors in early October, provided the soil is warm and well-prepared.

This schedule aligns with UAE’s fall-winter growing season—long enough for robust root development and an extended harvest.

• Days to Harvest: Expect sweet, miniature fruits around 70–80 days after transplanting.

Planting & Care Tips

• Sun & Soil: Choose a sunny location receiving at least 6–8 hours of sun daily. Plant in well-draining, fertile soil with added organic matter.

• Support: Use trellises, cages, or stakes—these vines climb vigorously, reaching around 1.8 m tall with approximately 1.2 m spread.

• Spacing: Give each plant 45–60 cm of space, with 90 cm between rows to ensure proper airflow and reduce disease risk.

• Watering: Maintain even soil moisture, especially during flowering and fruiting. Mulch can help conserve moisture and suppress weeds.

• Fertilizing: Start with a balanced fertilizer, shifting to a formula richer in phosphorus and potassium once flowering begins to enhance fruit production.

• Harvesting: Pick fruits when they display their signature champagne-yellow hue and have a soft, juicy texture—your reward will be super sweet, delightful tomatoes.
