Wow!

This black cherry tomato plant has blooms and is as healthy as can be since planting less than a week ago. It arrived in perfect condition thanks to the great care & packaging by the wonderful folks at Grow Joy.

Heavenly!

This nice little guy was shipped with such care that he arrived in perfect condition, and is now growing into a mature, beautiful tomato plant! I have little flowers, and can't wait to taste the cherry tomatoes!

Black Cherry Tomato (Live Plant) 2.5-Inch Pot

I plant this along with the Golden Nugget and Sweet Million for a great salad variety. Showed up in nice condition, a bit small, but it will grow.

From Robin | May 26, 2017


Tomato Babies!

I looked high and low for my favorite "Black Cherry Tomato" plants for my garden without success - until a web search brought me to GrowJoy! Desperate to include them in my tomato selection this year I placed an order as a last resort. The young plants, although small, arrived in beautiful, healthy, perfect condition. ( I was really impressed with the packaging!!) And I needn't have worried about the size - they have taken off and almost caught up with the other tomatoes planted in my garden earlier!! Customer service was friendly and helpful and the Information they provided was spot- on. I will definitely purchase from them again and recommend to others.

Excellent service and quality plants

I am very pleased with how quickly my Cherry Tomato plants arrived and the quality of the plants. They are 10 times better than anything I looked at in local greenhouses.

From Debbie | June 05, 2015


Black Cherry Tomato

Plant arrived a bit sad looking (the box was clearly labeled "this side up", but the post office put it on the porch upside down - not GrowJoy's fault...). The plant recovered nicely though. No flowers or tomatoes yet... GrowJoy : Sorry about the delivery, let us know if it doesn't do well for you.

From Olga | May 26, 2015


Great Service-Black Cherry Tomato

Again, they did a tremendous job with customer service and customer care. They kept in touch via email about my order. I will order from them again.

Plant arrived in nice packaging

From Olga | June 16, 2014


Awesome Cherry

This is my first year trying these tomatoes out. They are still perky and thriving quite well since I planted them one and a half weeks ago. Both of the Black Cherry plants have flowers set on them as well already.

From Inez Zoe Esters | June 05, 2014


Great Cherry Tomato plant

Always consistent product.

From Duane | May 23, 2014


Healthy Cherry Tomato Plants!

Packaging was great, plants very protected. This Black Cherry plant has really grown to life in the past month! My Burpee plants were bigger than the GrowJoy  plants, but they are all the same size now after being in the soil for almost a month.

From Jesi | May 20, 2014


Cherry Tomato in great shape

Plants came in great shape and transplanted beautifully

From Helen | May 17, 2014


Super healthy Cherry Tomato plants

Carefully packaged. My whole order was a delight to receive.

From Jeanette | April 06, 2014


Beautiful & Super Delicious Black Cherry Tomato

I purchased my plant just about two months ago - transplanted to a large pot with great success. It is now almost 5' tall and growing beautifully. Super delicious and very abundant. Love love.

From anonymous | August 25, 2013


Great plants

I'm working on a second season of plants here in NC now that, hopefully, our monsoon season is drawing to a close. We are replacing a lot of our tomatoes due to severe blight. These plants are great. I will most likely stop starting from seed next year. Very reasonably price and in very healthy condition on arrival. Even when shipping several states away. Plants adapt within a day and are growing like crazy. Best plants from any place I have ordered live plants from. And I've been ordering for several years. GrowJoy is only place I will order from now!

From Kristy | July 15, 2013


Black Cherry Tomato plant

From pk | July 10, 2013


Very happy with my first order - Black Cherry

I placed my first order with GrowJoy for the Black Cherry Tomatoes. I have heard they are one of the best tasting cherry tomatoes you can get. Looking forward to harvesting some in a couple of months. I was impressed with the simplicity of the order process, the speed at which my order arrived and the overall quality of the plants. They look great and are growing nicely at this point. Thanks
