Tomato Seeds – Chocolate Sprinkles (Indeterminate Cherry Tomato) | WINTER / SUMMER

Chocolate Sprinkles is a distinctive indeterminate cherry tomato producing elongated, dark red fruits marked with attractive green striping.

The vines continue growing, flowering and fruiting throughout favorable conditions, so plants benefit from trellis or stake support.

Fruits are generally small, firm and visually striking, making the variety especially appealing for fresh eating and colourful salads.

Commercial descriptions indicate fruits around 1.5 inch / 4 cm long, with good flavour and productive fruiting.

Exact fruit colour intensity, striping, size and maturity may vary according to climate, seed strain and crop management.

Growing Instructions from Seeds

1. Sowing

Start seeds in nursery trays, seedling cells or small pots.

Sow approximately:

0.3–0.5 cm deep

Cover lightly with fine growing medium.

2. Germination

Keep the growing medium lightly moist.

Seeds generally germinate within:

5–10 days

under suitable warm conditions.

3. Sunlight

Provide bright light after germination.

Established plants generally require:

6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily

Good sunlight supports strong vine growth, flowering and fruit colour.

4. Transplanting

Transplant seedlings when they are healthy, strong and approximately:

4–6 inches tall

or after developing several true leaves.

Water immediately after transplanting.

5. Plant Spacing

Maintain approximately:

45–60 cm between plants

Commercial recommendations commonly place this variety within roughly 18–36 inches spacing, depending on the growing system.

Adequate spacing improves airflow and allows room for vine training.

6. Support

Chocolate Sprinkles is indeterminate and requires reliable support.

Provide:

• Stakes
• Tomato cages
• Vertical strings
• Trellis systems

Begin supporting vines early and tie stems loosely as they grow.

7. Watering & Feeding

Maintain consistent soil moisture, especially during flowering and fruit enlargement.

Avoid repeated severe drying followed by heavy watering.

Before planting, incorporate GREEN GARDENS Vermicompost 🔗.

Once flowering begins, avoid excessive nitrogen and provide balanced nutrition with adequate potassium for fruit development.

8. Pruning & General Care

Indeterminate tomatoes can benefit from moderate vine management.

Remove only when necessary:

• Diseased leaves
• Damaged foliage
• Leaves touching the soil
• Excessively crowded lower growth
• Selected side shoots / suckers where vine control is required

Avoid excessive pruning.

9. Flowering & Fruit Development

Tomatoes are largely self-pollinating.

Natural airflow or gently shaking flowering branches can help pollen movement.

After successful fruit set, Chocolate Sprinkles fruits gradually develop their characteristic dark red colour with green striping.

10. Harvesting

Commercial references list maturity at approximately:

50–55 days after transplanting

under suitable conditions.

Harvest when fruits have developed their mature dark red colour, visible striping and good firmness.

Because Chocolate Sprinkles is indeterminate, harvesting can continue over an extended period while conditions remain favourable.

Regular picking encourages continued production and maintains fruit quality.
