Coyote is a vigorous, indeterminate cherry-type heirloom/species tomato that produces long trusses loaded with dozens of tiny, translucent ivory-to-pale-yellow fruits, each measuring about ½–¾ inch in diameter and weighing ⅓–½ oz. The smooth, thin-skinned cherries have juicy, tender flesh and an exceptionally sweet, fruity, almost candy-like flavor with tropical undertones—often described as one of the sweetest white or yellow cherries available.

 

Indeterminate plants grow tall (8 -12 ft +) with regular-leaf foliage, set fruit prolifically from mid-season onward, and continue producing heavily until frost. Expect to have many volunteers wherever it is grown in following seasons. 

 

Recommended harvest note: For best flavor and shelf life, cut fruits from the vine in entire trusses rather than individually; picking single berries causes rapid softening and flavor loss.


HISTORY: This variety was introduced to Craig LeHoullier by Maye Clement at a Pennsylvania Horticultural Society Harvest Fair. Clement, originally from Veracruz, Mexico, brought a cluster of the tiny fruits on the vine and said it grew wild there, known locally as “Coyote.” LeHoullier grew it out, suspected it might be a selection of L. pimpinellifolium, and shared it through Seed Savers Exchange around 2005–2006. Amy Goldman later collected similar material in Veracruz and included it in her 2008 book, further spreading its popularity. It is now widely available from heirloom seed companies.

 

Sold as a single plant in a 3.5" pot.
