The Tumbling Tom Red is a variety of cherry tomato known for its trailing growth habit, making it ideal for pots, hanging baskets, and containers. Here are some key features and tips for growing this delightful variety:

Features:

• Fruit Color: Bright red, small round tomatoes.
• Size: Typically, the fruits are about 1 to 2 inches in diameter.
• Growth Habit: Cascading or trailing; it grows well when allowed to spill over the sides of containers.
• Taste: Sweet and flavorful, perfect for snacking or salads.

Growing Tips:

1. Location: Choose a sunny spot that receives at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily.
2. Soil: Use well-draining potting soil enriched with organic matter.
3. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water at the base of the plant to avoid foliage diseases.
4. Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer every few weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth and fruit production.
5. Support: While Tumbling Tom is a trailing variety, if you’re planting them in containers, consider using a small trellis or plant supports if you want to encourage vertical growth.
6. Pests and Diseases: Watch out for common pests like aphids and spider mites. Use organic pest control methods if necessary. Also, check for signs of diseases like blight.

Harvesting:

• Pick the tomatoes when they are fully colored (bright red) and slightly soft to the touch. Regular harvesting will encourage more fruit production.

The Tumbling Tom Red variety is an excellent choice for home gardeners looking for a compact, productive, and decorative plant. Enjoy growing your tomatoes!
