Although it was described in the New York Times newspaper and many other places as being able to produce fruit when grown in a 4\u201d pot (\u201c\u2026you can grow it in a 4\u201d pot!\u201d), I have to say that it does better in a 1-quart pot. Sometimes \u201cjust because you can, doesn\u2019t mean you should,\u201d is an appropriate motto. This is a nice micro-dwarf tomato, producing red cherries of quite variable sizes. It is later than most of my other micro-dwarfs, but still in the \u201cearly\u201d category compared to indeterminate varieties. The taste is strong and tomatoey, not sugary. It does have the tendency to split with a sudden increase in watering during the ripening stage, but many people prefer the eating quality of a cherry tomato with thin skin, even though it will split.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5594,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[8,35,42,50,12],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1735","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-red-tomatoes","7":"product_cat-cherry-grape","8":"product_cat-basket-tomatoes","9":"product_cat-micro-dwarf-tomatoes","10":"product_cat-bunny-hop-seeds","12":"first","13":"instock","14":"shipping-taxable","15":"purchasable","16":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/1735","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5594"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1735"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=1735"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=1735"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=1735"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
