Pinocchio

Pinocchio is a classic micro‑dwarf cherished for dependable production on plants scarcely taller than a handspan. Under good light it tops out around 7–9 inches and loads early clusters of red cherries with a soft, juicy bite. Flavor leans sweet and fruity with thin skins; steady moisture reduces cracking and keeps texture consistent. A natural for windowsills and patio tables, it performs best in 1–2 gallon pots with regular, dilute feeding. Keep harvesting to encourage new blossoms and a steady stream of snack‑size fruit. Fruits shine in both fresh salads and slow‑simmered sauces where their natural balance comes forward. Plants respond well to consistent moisture and mulching, which helps reduce blossom‑end stress and keeps fruit quality high. Give sturdy support and prune lightly to maintain airflow and make harvest easier as clusters build.
