The 'Rancho Solito' tomato is a cherry variety that ripens early, developed by J&L Gardens Seed in the United States. It resulted from a cross between the 'Stupice' tomato and a wild species, with the goal of creating a highly productive and delicious tomato with a balanced flavor. This indeterminate variety produces clusters of 6 to 10 small, round red fruits that weigh between 20 to 40 grams each. Often, the fruits have a small nipple at the top. The 'Rancho Solito' tomato is an exceptional choice for gardeners seeking an early, flavorful cherry tomato variety that is versatile and abundant. Seeds grown and seed saved in Cork, Ireland.
