I just realized-I should put this over in container gardening.

Hi Deb. Yes, there a couple of the so-called "micro-dwarf" varieties. 6 to 8 inch plants with small cherry-size fruit. They are perfect for small containers, window boxes, etc. Micro-tom is the best known. I haven't grown one myself but not long ago I received a German variety called Halms Gelbe Topftomate from a friend that is very similar to micro-tom but in a gold fruit color. I planned on growing it next year in containers. I guess the fruit don't taste all that great and it is more of a novelty, but I'm gonna try it anyway.

Thanks, John, that's what I thought-that it would be fun to grow one, even though the tomatoes might not taste too good.
But who knows, they might be just fine for a snacking tomato.
I think I'll order the Micro Tom next year.
Great picture !

Two varieties listed are Micro Tom and Florida Petite.
The catalog says that these can be grown in a 4" pot. Sounds like fun !
Anyone ever tried them?
