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.

Will Tolerate &

Keeping in Going

  • Needs regular moisture 

  • Full sun produces the best fruit.  It will survive in part shade but will become leggy and produce less fruit.

  • Fertilize with organic fertilizer.  We use Neptune's Harvest.

Won't Tolerate

  • Drought

  • Cold temperatures

  • Water-logged soil

Points of Interest

  • Tiny Tim is an heirloom variety of tomato.  Heirlooms are varieties that have existed for at least 50 years (some people say more).  They have been saved by farmers and gardeners because of unique traits that are considered desirable.  

  • Tiny Tim's compact nature and size make it an ideal plant for small spaces and patio gardeners.
