Tomato Tumbling Tom Red is a popular type of trailing tomato that works well in hanging baskets, patio containers, and raised planters. This small plant makes a lot of lovely, juicy red cherry tomatoes that hang down gracefully over the sides. It looks fantastic and tastes great.
It is an easy vegetable plant to cultivate and very productive, making it a great choice for both new and expert gardeners. It works well in tiny spaces. The small veg (or fruits depending on how you prefer to label them) are great for salads, nibbling right off the plant, or adding to summer recipes. They will keep ripening all season long.
