Days To Maturity
Days To Maturity
Average number of days from seeding date to harvest, within a specific crop group. If a transplanted crop: average number of days from transplant date. Not sure if crop is direct-seeded or transplanted? Check the Growing Information box for details. If crop can be both direct-seeded or transplanted, days to maturity refers to direct seeding. Days to maturity for all flowers and herbs is calculated from seeding date.

Life Cycle
Life Cycle
Plants can be Annuals (single growing season), Perennials (grow year after year), Tender Perennials (grow year after year in warmer climates; and in some cases when given special protection in colder climates), or Biennials (require two years to mature).

Mochi (F1) Tomato Seed
Exclusive! An entirely new texture.
Unusual cherry that does not burst in the mouth and evokes a gumdrop-like eating experience. Large, 20–25 gm. fruits are thin-skinned and uniquely glossy. Compact indeterminate plant, easy to train. Fruits grow on long trusses with compact internodes. Harvest regularly, and gently, but allow fruits to hang as long as possible for best sweetness. Can be harvested with or without the calyx. NOTES: 1.) Minimize dust, handling, and stacking as fruits are sensitive to damage. 2.) When grafting, we recommend using Tm-1 type rootstock (rootstock resistant to tomato mosaic virus); all our rootstocks are Tm-1 type. Indeterminate.Disease Resistance:

SCIENTIFIC NAME:
Solanum lycopersicumCULTURE:
Tomatoes thrive in a tunnel or greenhouse environment, which increases your control over fruit quality and extends the harvest season, both early and late. Growing info is similar to field tomatoes, but transplants are typically started earlier and may need additional development time (6–7 weeks) and supplemental lighting to maintain strong seedlings.DAYS TO MATURITY:
From transplanting.TRANSPLANTING INDOORS:
Provide 4–6 sq.ft. growing area per leader depending on variety, climate, disease pressure, and pruning methods. Plant deeply like field tomatoes unless grafted, in which case, plant with union above soil. For 5–7 days after transplanting, maintain 73–77°F (23–25°C) day and night temperature to promote rapid foliar and root growth. At fruit set, lower night temps to 62–66°F (17–19°C) and begin monitoring plants to manage them towards season-long productivity.TRELLISING/PRUNING:
Train plants to 1–2 branchless leaders onto separate vertical strings with trellis clips roughly 1" below every third leaf. Keep taut and reuse bottom clips, keeping at least 3–4 per string. Consider a lower-and-lean system if you have a long season, capable structure, and enough labor. Pruning leaves and clusters can help to manage diseases and steer towards maximum production. Keep grafted plants free from scion roots and rootstock suckers.INSECT PESTS AND DISEASE:
A slightly different set of pests attack indoor crops than outdoor crops, but similar management strategies apply. The use of beneficial insects and grafting is generally more successful in tunnels/greenhouses than open field.HARVEST/STORAGE:
Same as field, plus potential for truss harvesting.TRANSPLANTS:
