Tumbling Tom Red Tomatoes

A compact bush variety bursting with cherry-red, sweet tomatoes, perfect for gardeners with limited space. Ideal for hanging baskets, tubs, and containers, these cheerful little plants produce a continuous harvest of glossy, bite-sized fruits. Their naturally trailing habit makes them perfect for vertical displays, spilling over edges for a stunning visual effect, while delivering a deliciously sweet flavour straight from your garden.


Harvest

Roughly 8 weeks after planting — pick when tomatoes are red, swollen, and glossy.


Growing Instructions

Planting: Plant 45cm apart in well-drained soil, a large pot, or ideally a hanging basket.

Position: Sunny, sheltered spot; greenhouse is ideal, or start indoors in a conservatory or bright window before acclimatising outdoors over 4–6 days.

Watering: Keep soil moist until established and during dry periods, avoiding waterlogging.

Growth Habit: Naturally grows downwards — no need to remove side shoots.

Feeding: Only feed once 3–4 tomatoes start to swell.

Maintenance: Remove any rotting or dead leaves as the plant grows.


Top Tips

Water Evenly: Irregular watering can cause splitting or poor fruit set.

Avoid Farmyard Manure: Chemicals in straw bedding can harm your crop.

Sun & Shelter: Keep leaves clear of fruits to maximise sunlight and airflow for healthier tomatoes.

Container Care: Hanging baskets dry out quickly — check soil moisture daily in hot weather.

Succession Planting: Plant another basket every few weeks for a constant supply of sweet tomatoes all summer.
