In which year did China have cherry tomatoes?
According to the preliminary research, cherry tomato (also known as pearl tomato) was planted in Hefei Watermelon and Vegetable Research Institute from 1992, and five mini tomato hybrids were introduced from Japan and Taiwan Province province. Two varieties with high quality, high yield, disease resistance and good commodity were screened out and planted in Hefei. At the same time, through two years of cultivation experiments, the cultivation techniques suitable for the characteristics of varieties were preliminarily summarized.
