Quick Summary of Stormin Norman
- 🌍 Origin: A US variety developed by breeder Blane Horton. It is part of his famous “Keyes” multiflora line. The variety was named in honor of General Norman Schwarzkopf Jr., famous for his command during Operation Desert Storm.
- 🌿 Plant Habit: Indeterminate (tall), vigorous, and early-season. This variety is a true “multiflora,” meaning it produces massive, cascading clusters containing dozens to hundreds of flowers per truss.
- 🍅 Fruit Characteristics: Charming, small, pear-shaped cherry tomatoes. They ripen to a beautiful dark color and grow in enormous, heavy clusters.
- 👅 Flavor: Delightful, full-bodied, and sweet. It delivers that rich, classic purebred heirloom taste.
- ⏳ Yield & Vigor: Absolutely exceptional. It is a workhorse in the garden, setting massive amounts of fruit without dropping blossoms, and continues to produce heavily right up until the first autumn frosts.

Oleg! Do you have any photos? Tell us more about them!
Reporting back! 😁
Stormin Norman cherry. The first truss had 20 fruits, the second had 30, the third had 40… On the 4th truss and higher, there are about 130 fruits on each truss! And there isn’t even a single hint of blossom drop.
