Do cherry tomatoe plants reseed themselves?

Answer 1

yes, but if your original came from seeds you bought, the reseeded ones are probably hybrid and won't produce tomatoes

Answer 2

If you have an heirloom Tommy Toe, they will reseed all by themselves and you get the small tomatoes that you love for salads or stuffing. These seeds always grow true because they are an heirloom. I hope this helps.

Answer 3

If you have non-hybrid cherry tomato's you can take a few tomato's, remove the seeds, wash them, dry them and store they until the next year. Planting them the next year will produce plants just like the originals.

If they are hybrids, you can do the same thing but your resulting plants will be of unknown quality, all different from their parents, and most inedible.

Answer 4

I have had tomatoes re-seed in zone 4/5. Not reliably, but they do re-seed. Sometimes I leave them if they're in an acceptable place in the garden and sometimes I pull them out... your best bet is to plant new plants each year to get fruit the earliest you can, but my theory is I have to water anyway, what's one more plant?

Answer 5

They sure do. If you leave some of the tomatoes in the garden in the fall you will have all kinds of volunteers coming up all over the place.

Answer 6

I've had excellent results with Sweet 100's, SuperSweet 100's and Sweet Millions. These are the ones I like the best. They reproduce true, not always the case with many hybrids.

Answer 7

sure, but you need to plant the seeds inside the tomatoe

Answer 8

I have never had luck with that.
Every year I try.
The plants are not expensive so I gave up.

Answer 9

You will have the best luck with an heirloom variety.
