Junior Whopper Red is a hybrid pink cherry tomato. The plant sets 1/2 ounce round deep-red fruits with crack-resistant skins and excellent holding ability. These cherry tomatoes offer beefsteak taste in a pint-sized form and have an average 7.5 to 8.5 Brix rating, perfect for snacking. Tomatoes are considered a superfood for their nutrient rich content. They are a good source of vitamin C and provide vitamin A and potassium. They also contain carotenoid lycopene and beta-carotene as well as phenolic acids and flavonoids.
Usually grown as an annual, Junior Whopper Red, an herbaceous tender perennial, is a member of the nightshade family (Solanaceae), which contains plants that typically grow in temperate to tropical regions. A very vigorous, multi-cluster, indeterminate variety, often called a “vining” tomato, Junior Whopper Red sets multiple trusses of sweet, juicy tomatoes all summer, with each truss producing 15 to 20 fruits. The plant requires staking or caging for support. Junior Whopper Red has generative plant behavior. Blossoms and fruit continue to develop as the vine grows, so, it bears an impressive amount fruit over the course of a season.
Tomatoes grow best in sunny locations with moist, humusy, deep, fertile loam. Junior Whopper Red is very disease resistant
A warm-season vegetable, sensitive to cold temperatures and frost, tomato seed should be started indoors about 4 to 6 weeks before transplanting to the garden after all threat of frost has passed. Flowers begin to set fruit with night temperatures between 55° and 75°F. Protect plants with row covers if temperatures are expected to dip below 50°F. Mulching helps to moderate soil temperature and to maintain soil moisture.
