Baxter's Bush Cherry - It's Alive

Irv Wiseguy · January 8, 2012

Even though I live in So Cal it can freeze here over night in the Winter and we've had our share of frosty mornings this year as usual.

On a whim I bought a pack of Baxter's Bush Cherry seeds last spring and grew 2 of them. They were supposed to be determinate but they produced all season long. Some branches are still alive and today I saw flowers on them. All of my other tomato plants are long gone but these sure are hearty. It's too bad I'm not crazy about their taste!

If you're looking for a plant that can survive some lower temps you might want to give BBC a try and see if you like them. I got the seeds at Walmart last spring when they had a $1/pack sale.
