Allotments 4 All

Hi , I would appreciate any help , I am trying to compile a list of minature tomato plant varieties,the size of the fruit in not important, it is the size of the plant that I am interested in.

Any personal experience would be very welcome to

I would really appreciate any info though

XX Jeannine

Grew 'Tiny Tim' last year it kept small ,small fruit sweet taste.Will grow again in the top of parsley pots.Is that enough info?

Can you remember high the plant was please XX Jeannine

About 10 inches, but they can be pinched out.

I presume what you are meaning Jeannine is 'bush' varieties rather than cordons.

We have grown a variety 'Red Cap' with success.  They are compact plants, and produce plenty of smallish tomatoes.  We got the seeds from Dobies.

My Tiny Tim plants we about 60cm high!  The smallest I have grown is Micro which reaches about 25-30cm.  Very small cherry tomatoes with a good flavour.  Here's a couple of pics.  G x

Totem is 60-80 cms.

Thank you for the help so far,  I had some of them and  have just planted

Micro Tom
Red Robin
Yellow Canary
Tiny Tim
Whippersnapper
Totem
Orange Pixie

Can you tell me how high Red Cap grows please, and if abyone knows of anymore tinies I would appreciate it.

I planted a couple and grew them through the winter but I forgot which ones

I can't think of a cordon type that would be tiny Valmarg, do you know of any please?

Georgie those little plants look super.

I think it was Biscombe who sent me the Micro seed in a swap, Jeannine.  I saved some seed from the tomotoes last year and I've got three lovely little sturdy plants on my window sill again this year.  They were sown about 6 weeks ago and they've already have trusses on them.   ;D

Green Sausage is naturally flat... doesn't get very tall at all...
:-\

I need ones that grow to less than 18 inches  but thank you XX Jeannine

When I grew Green Sausage it didn't get over 12"... the down side was the tome lay on the ground and the slugs loved them almost as much as I did!
:-[

Are you including the tumbling varieties Jeannine?  If so, there are two that I am growing this year:  Tumbler and Tumbling Tom.  Difficult to say what height they will grow to but I am expecting about 8 inches.

A small plant well worth growing is sub-artic plenty. It's the earliest variety to ripen. Two years ago, my outdoor sub-artics ripened before any of my greehouse plants.

Tiny Tim for sure. Sub Arctic Plenty reminds me of that scene in `Crocodile Dundee` about bush tucker"you can eat it ..........."

but is tastes like sh**

I think most of the earlies are like this Cleo, but they do help till the others come all..

Thank you DJ but it is a bit too tall for my purpose.

I have Patio  too grows to 24 inches, a tough rigid heavy stemmed plant, loaded with fruit but sadly it is too tall.

Gartenperle is quite small. This pot had two plants in it and this was as big as it got

Wot no pic?

Crocodile Dundee... needs garlic!
;D

Oops - pic now added.

We've grown Red Cap in 10" pots, and they grow to about 18".

Sorry Jeannine, with regard to the bush/cordon type - what I was tying to say, albeit badly, was that it was the small plants (rather than fruits) you were interested in ;D ;D
