Description
Tiny Tim is a compact, heirloom tomato that thrives in containers. It has dark green leaves and bright, 4-ounce, red fruit. Because of its size (no staking), it is one of the easiest tomato plants to grow for the home gardener. Besides that, it is also a prolific producer and makes a great snack.
