Originating from the wild lineage of Solanum pimpinellifolium , the Spoon cherry tomato is distinguished by its tiny size: it is one of the smallest known tomatoes in the world. Its fruits, barely larger than a pea, grow in abundant clusters on vigorous, indeterminate plants full of vitality.

In a thriving garden, it climbs happily on a light support, its supple stems quickly becoming covered in bright red berries. It beautifully complements sunny corners of the vegetable garden, while contributing to the ecological balance through its abundant flowering.

Its cultivation is simple, yet rewarding. It requires flexible support, well-nourished soil, and careful attention to ensure a bountiful and gradual harvest. Ideal for gardeners who appreciate the gentle rhythm of nature.

  • Growing climate: Warm season

Annotation: Classic cherry tomato cultivation requires warmth, regular watering and staking.

The Spoon tomato is a pure sensory delight. Its tangy, vibrant, and sweet flavor makes it an irresistible addition to salads, crudités platters, or impromptu snacks. Children adore it, picking it with both hands like red berries and crunching on it with laughter.

Its miniature clusters are also a beautiful addition to creative cooking, as a garnish or on vegetable skewers. It can even be used whole in marinades or gentle preserves. Rare and playful, it's as much a vegetable variety as it is a culinary curiosity.
