Introduced in 1945, Tiny Tim is a surprisingly tiny plant, growing to only 12” tall, so no staking is needed. It is perfect for wherever garden space is limited, and outstanding for growing in containers. Tiny Tim is a heavy yielder with clusters of sweet red salad tomatoes that are ½” - ¾” in diameter. Fruit is juicy and has very good sweet/tart tomato flavors. Tiny Tim is also well suited for hydroponics cultivation.
