- Ashley C.Verified BuyerRated 3 out of 5 stars10/21/26Some great, some disappointing!
First, Green Grape was new to me and is a new favorite, earning an ongoing spot in my garden. Sun Drop is an old favorite that I was happy to bring back.
Unfortunately, I had a pretty low germination rate of about 60%. I also did not receive any bicolor or chocolate cherry seeds that I can tell, based both on seed color and eventual germination.
What I did receive unexpectedly is a tall Indeterminate, loaded with clusters of 5-8 tomatoes each, pale green with a pointy end that were the first to fruit and have never ripened a single tomato. They are hard and pale green, tasting unripe and bordering on bitter. They were started inside in March with the others, transplanted in late May, and have productive/ripening tomato plants on either side of them. I had hoped maybe this was the Bi-Color, but as of October 21st, I still do not have a single ripe tomato or any color change to indicate a further identification.
Would still buy for the Green Grape tbh.

- Wendy C.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars5/6/26Growing for this season
More of a question. Can these be allowed to grow and hang over a raised bed instead of staking? I have some that are 2ft high.
Which best describes you as a gardener? IntermediateBIBotanical Interests5/7/26Hey Wendy,
Thank you so much for the 5-star review! Great question about letting them hang over your raised bed! While cherry tomatoes can definitely trail and cascade beautifully, these pole varieties will get quite heavy once they're loaded with fruit - much heavier than your 2ft plants are now. Without some support, the weight of all those delicious tomatoes might cause the stems to break or the plants to pull themselves out of the soil. You could try a hybrid approach - maybe some loose support or even letting them drape over the edges with a little backup staking just to keep the main stems secure. Your plants are going to produce an amazing rainbow of cherry tomatoes! Keep on growing 🌻

The seeds sprouted quickly and I have just moved the plants to my raised beds outside. Now I am looking forward to see and taste the results of my efforts.

- NicoleRated 4 out of 5 stars8/30/25Good sampler
I planted these seeds in my 2024 and 2025 summer garden. The golden nugget is delicious! I only wish it was an indeterminate. The brown tomatoes were quite vigorous but not too tasty; the green tomato has good flavor. The color of the white tomato was interesting but the taste wasn't notable either way. Overall I think the packet was good value for money. As a relatively new gardener it was an inexpensive way to get a feel for what's out there.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with our Rainbow Blend Pole Cherry Tomato Seeds! It's great to hear you found the Golden Nugget so delicious, and we totally understand wishing it was indeterminate for a longer harvest season. We're so glad this sampler pack gave you good value and helped you explore different varieties as a newer gardener! It's the perfect way to discover your favorites without committing to full packets of each variety. Thanks for the thoughtful review and happy growing in both seasons ahead! Keep on growing 🌻️
