Description

Tomato ‘Truss Cocktail’ is a determinate (bush) variety of tomato. It has “larger than cherry” sized red fruit that are meatier than cherry tomatoes. All fruit in a cluster (truss) ripens at the same time, which makes this variety ideal for drying, bottling, canning or making sauces.
Tomatoes are “buzz pollinated”. Cross-pollination is unusual but it can happen if there are bees, particularly the Australian native blue-banded bee going from the flowers of one plant to the flowers of another.
