| Tiny Tim is not the best tasting, but it is edible, and especially good in a salad.\r\n\r\nPlant it in a coffee cup, and you have miniature 6-inch tomato plant covered with fruit. Plant is a 2-4 gallon pot, and you have a 2-foot plant covered with tomatoes.\r\n\r\nThis tomato is for people in appts and those with too much shade. It loves shade. In fact, dies in full sun |

| This variety should not be planted in open garden, best for container culture. Plants can be quite sensitive to extremes in water and sunlight. Flavor is okay for such a small sized fruit. Great conversation piece plant due to small size of fruit. |

| This variety should not be planted in a garden. They are meant for containers. If they are planted in a garden environment their growth and productivity will be dissappointing and their space in your garden will be largely wasted. They are also very fragile when in an open environment and cannot take the ordinary rigors that other tomato plants endure.
If you want a cherry or grape tomato for your garden, check the grower's label and ensure you are not buying a variety developed for container growth. |

| Determinate red 1" cherry, early. OP.
Medium yields if fed well through the season. Plants are small, <1'. The flavor is so-so, but OK for an early tomato. Dense foliage. |

| I was given several Tiny Tim plants which I grew as container tomatoes. The plants were very sensitive to sunlight and burned easily. They did well once I moved them to the north side of the house where they had lots of shade. The fruits were very small, didn't have a really great taste and the yield was poor. Maybe they would make good winter tomatoes. |
