Small-fruited tomatoes are tomato varieties with small, juicy fruits, 2 to 4 cm in diameter. They are often sweeter and ideal as a snack or in salads.
There are many varieties, such as cherry tomatoes (round), Roma tomatoes (oval), cocktail tomatoes, and pear tomatoes (pear-shaped).
They come in various colors, such as red, yellow, orange, purple, and black.
That depends on the variety.
Indeterminate tomatoes (tall): yes, remove suckers.
Bush tomatoes (compact): no, leave suckers.
Only for tall varieties: top after 6–8 trusses so that the plant directs energy towards ripening the existing fruit.
Cherry tomatoes and snack tomatoes are both small-fruited tomatoes. The smallest, sweetest tomatoes are often referred to as snack tomatoes.
Blossom drop can be caused by stress factors such as extreme temperatures (too hot or too cold), too much or too little water.
Absolutely! There are several varieties that grow compactly and are extremely suitable for pot cultivation.
They do very well in pots of at least 15–20 liters with good drainage. Perfect for a balcony or terrace.
