Plant Features

Sungold Cherry tomatoes are garden delights, treasured for their vibrant, candy-sweet fruits that burst with sunshine flavor. This hybrid variety yields golden-orange cherry tomatoes typically weighing 0.5 to 1 ounce, with thin, glossy skin—perfect for snacking, salads, or garnishes. The flesh is juicy and tender, offering an exceptionally sweet tomato taste with a fruity tang that’s a favorite among cherry tomato enthusiasts.

Why grow Sungold Cherry? Developed by Japan’s Tokita Seed Company, this indeterminate plant produces prolific clusters of 10 to 15 fruits through the season, known for its vigorous growth and early ripening. While it lacks broad disease resistance beyond occasional cracking tolerance, its unmatched sweetness and consistent yields make it a top pick for gardeners seeking a standout cherry tomato that thrives until frost.

Grown naturally and pesticide-free, our Sungold Cherry starter plants arrive healthy and ready to flourish in your garden. Nurtured with care, they promise an abundant harvest of these irresistible, golden treats.

Tomato success

Two Sungold tomato plants from Grow Joy were the best producers we had! We picked the last ones two weeks ago (March!!) Ordered more for this year along with other Grow Joy vegetables. VERY impressed with our Grow Joy purchases.

Lively little plant

We planted a similar cherry plant at the beginning of the season. We harvested bowls and bowls of tomatoes from the plant. We started this plant in mid July. All we do is use dirt booster from Andersons and keep it watered. We live in southeast Kansas. We have dozens of deer that visit our lawn. So, we are limited to growing our garden on the back deck. We are happy with grow joy. We started using this company during the pandemic. We have bought every plant imaginable. We have had varieties of tomatoes, peppers to flowering plants for our hanging baskets. We are customers for life! Who knew you could ship a healthy plant across the country and it could thrive!

Best Cherry Tomatoes Ever! Strong, Prolific, Addictingly Delicous!

If you want to taste the best tomato ever, then go ahead and get these! The plant is so strong, it pumps out crazy amounts of fruit, and the taste is beyond incredible. I really wish I heard about this variety before, because it will be grown every single season from here on out. Click 'add to cart', plant into well-draining soil and enjoy. This is what cherry tomatoes are supposed to taste like. Eat them right off the plant, in salads, or with a dip you just cannot go wrong with this tomato.
