Summer residents have been “hunting” for seeds since September: bright cherry tomatoes grow in clusters of 20 pieces, and the taste

Honey Drop: 25 pieces per bunch

This variety stands apart among cherry tomatoes. Its main feature is its large clusters, which ripen 15 to 25 fruits at a time. Imagine: a single branch with a whole bunch of small tomatoes, all ready to be picked at once.

The fruits of the "Honey Drop" are pear-shaped, bright yellow, and weigh between 10 and 30 grams. But the most important thing isn't the shape, but the taste. It's described as honey-sweet, almost dessert-like. It's this taste that gives the variety its name.

What the characteristics say

This variety is considered mid-early. The bushes are tall: in a greenhouse, they can reach up to 2.5 meters, and in the open ground, up to 1.8 meters. They require staking and training, but yield generously, reaching 6-9.5 kg per square meter.

A distinct advantage is its resilience. "Honey Drop" is resistant to cracking, blossom-end rot, and late blight. This is critical for regions with short and unpredictable summers.

Why in autumn?

Tomato seeds last for years, but choosing in the fall isn't about expiration dates. It's about selection. In the fall, when gardeners are taking stock, seeds of varieties that might not even make it to your store in the spring appear on the shelves. Besides, buying now gives you time to calmly study the characteristics, read reviews, and avoid grabbing the first thing you see in the April rush.

There are competitors too

"Honey Drop" isn't the only variety with a honey flavor and large clusters. Agronomists' ratings for 2026 mention "Yellow Date," with 25-30g fruits and a slight honey note. And "Honey Cascade" from "Uralsky Dachnik" produces clusters of up to 15 tomatoes and is considered one of the sweetest of all tomatoes.

But if you're looking for a cluster of 20-25 grapes and a honey flavor in a single variety, "Honey Drop" is the one to buy now. It'll be too late in the spring.
