Here is the Micro Gemma Tomato, Solanum lycopersicum. This micro Dwarf tomato originates from the University of Florida, Bradenton, USA and is a cross between a Fla. 7565, and a inbred closely related to 'Micro-Gold' AKA 'Sugar' (PI 270248). It was specifically developed for the International Space Station. The Micro Gemma Micro Dwarf Tomato is considered to be a Super determinate Micro Dwarf tomato variety but here at HRSeeds.com we consider it to be a Nano Dwarf as the majority of plants never get over 4 inches tall! These plants can get to 6.5  inches tall but most often they will flower at about 2.5 inches tall and stay that way till the end. The fruits are a juicy mildly sweet tomato with a well balanced flavor. The tomatoes are yellow even with gold flesh inside. These cherry type fruits only get to around .65 inch round. If planted in small pots they can stay relatively small at maybe 3 inches tall! Great for salads and for snacking! Open pollinated, Nano or micro Dwarf, Super determinate, regular leaf, early to mid season, yellow to golden, round, cherry, 41-87+ days. LOT # 5 TAG#  290-2022

  • GERMINATION INFO

    Germination Info
    1) Prepare for planting. Sprout tomato seeds in small containers, preferably 4" or smaller. In-ground germination is not recommended. Use a standard potting mix that is well drained. Start seeds in containers approximately 8 weeks prior to the planned set-out date. Plants should ultimately be transplanted to the garden 1-2 weeks after the expected date of last frost.
    2) Plant seeds. Plant seeds 1/4" deep in the soil. Cover with soil and water carefully. Overwatering can cause fungal growth which leads to seed rot. Excess water can also bury seeds deep in the soil where they will not be able break the surface. Water when the soil surface just begins to dry. Multiple seeds can be planted in a single starter container, but should be thinned once seedlings appear so only a single plant remains. Seeds do not require light for germination but some light source should be provided for seedlings once they emerge from the soil.
    3) Germination. Soil should be kept consistently warm, from 70-85F. Cool soils, below about 60-65F, even just at night, will significantly delay or inhibit germination. Hot soils above 95F will also inhibit germination.
    4) Care of seedlings. Once a few true leaves have developed, seedlings should be slowly moved outside (if sprouted indoors) to ambient light. Care should be taken not to expose seedlings to direct, scorching sun so plants may need to be hardened off via slow sun exposure. Hardening off can be done using a shaded or filtered light location, as well as protection from strong winds, rain or low humidity. Hardening off time varies, but can take 5-10 days.
    5) Planting out. Plant in the ground once danger of frost has past and daytime temperatures consistently reach 65F. Plants can be spaced as close as 24" apart. Germination time: 1-3 weeks under ideal conditions.
