Growing Guide for Both Orange and Red Tree Tomato Varieties

Climate and Soil Requirements

  • Climate: Tree Tomatoes thrive in warm, frost-free climates and are best suited for USDA hardiness zones 9-11. They prefer mild temperatures and can be grown in containers in cooler regions. In colder climates, they should be brought indoors during winter.
  • Soil: Both Orange and Red Tree Tomatoes prefer well-draining, fertile soil rich in organic matter. A slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0) is ideal.

Planting

  1. Location: Choose a sunny location that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Both varieties can tolerate partial shade but produce best in full sun.
  2. Soil Preparation: Prepare the soil by loosening it and mixing in compost or organic matter to enhance fertility and drainage.
  3. Planting Time: Plant in the spring when the soil has warmed up. Tree Tomatoes can also be grown in large containers.
  4. Spacing: Space trees 3-5 feet apart if planting in the ground, or use a large container with adequate drainage if growing in pots.

Watering

  • Regular Moisture: Water consistently to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells. Avoid waterlogging the roots, as the trees are sensitive to poor drainage.

Sunlight and Fertilizing

  • Full Sun: Ensure the tree gets at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
  • Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer every 6-8 weeks during the growing season to support fruit production.

Pruning and Maintenance

  • Pruning: Prune the tree in early spring to encourage a bushy growth habit and remove dead or damaged branches.
  • Support: Use stakes to support the branches, especially when they are heavy with
