Description

Tomato ‘Wild Sweetie’ is an indeterminate (climbing) variety of tomato to 2.8 metres and will need support. This variety is high yielding, producing currant-sized sweet fruits well into the cooler months. If left untamed, ‘Wild Sweetie’ creates widely spreading plants. This is a hardy variety which can survive winter in frost-free areas and is one of the first tomatoes to produce fruit. However, the old plant soon runs out of vigour and dies as the weather warms up. This is the variety most like the original tomato plants from which other varieties were bred. It can pop up in strange places in your garden and grow quite happily, at least for a time.
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.
