Overall Taste Yield Ease	Harris, Texas, United States Frost Free Season: More than 203 days Soil Texture: Clay Garden Size: Small - Less than 400 square feet (20' x 20') Sun Exposure: 6 to 8 hours per day
As long as you understand this is mostly a novelty plant, it's a fun thing to grow. Don't expect to get a bushel of fruit from it. It grows happily in a 4" pot and produces about a dozen fruit about the size and shape of chickpeas. The tomatoes are actually pretty tasty. I live in an apartment with limited space and found these to be a great fit for my needs.

don't waste your time unless you like elaborate practical jokes. it's a conversation piece not a tomato plant. sorry I wasted the time and money, seemed like a good idea but it wasn't.
