Question by Skater: If you grow a cherry tomato plant in the winter will it reproduce?
Well we started this cherry tomato plant when the snow started to fly. It was indoors on the window sill. it looks healthy and green. We just want to find out to see if it will produce cherry tomato’s around harvest time. That would help thanks :-)..

As long as the plant is healthy and will flower you just need to get the flowers pollinated to get fruit.
If it is not outdoors then you will need to pollinate it yourself. You can use a small paintbrush and touch the brush to one flower and then another until all the flowers have been visited by your paintbrush. If they received the pollen then fruit will begin to form.
If you have not planted it in a pot at least 1′ in diameter I would recommend doing that to keep it healthy.
