Current Facts
Cherry Bomb tomatoes, originally termed Solanum lycopersicum by Carl Linnaeus, are botanically referred to as Lycopersicon esculentum, although modern studies are encouraging a return to the original classification. Tomatoes are further categorized in subgroups that represent variations observed within the tomato species, referred to as their cultivar: a botanical term that is a contraction of the two-word term cultivated variety, and is equivalent to what growers simply call a “variety.” Therefore, Cherry tomato varieties like Cherry Bomb are more specifically called Lycopersicon esculentum var. cerasiforme. If you’re looking for Cherry Bomb tomato seeds, be careful not to confuse it with the cherry bomb chile pepper that shares its name.
