I was wondering if anyone has grown these and if so is a one gallon pot large enough. They only grow 10-14" tall. I am thinking it is large enough, but I haven't grown them before and I hate to make a waste.
A one gallon container IS a bit SMALL for even a "patio tomato"; roots need more room than those afford; something larger would be more beneficial, have better stabilization sitting on a deck/patio. A regular tomato needs at least a 5 gallon planter, and have found the "patio's" enjoy one even that big (extra space around them was planted with onions, parsley, carrots or marigolds for color/bug control..is good "companion planting"; can get a "double crop" in a small space also). Do hope this has helped...
I know it sounds small, but the tomato gets 12" tall. It is not a big tomato at all, but now they are all planted up and I will have the experience for next year to know whether this will work or not. Thanks.
tomato I think it'll be OK. 12 inches is not very tall. I grow some over 6 ft in a 5-gal with a stake next to it in the ground and train the plant to a single leader.
Thanks, Rockhound. I have them all planted up and they have been in the containers for about 2 weeks now and are a grand total of maybe 5" tall. So I am hoping they will be fine in there. I may have to put a small stake in them, but that will be easy enough as they get bigger if it looks as if it needs one.
