Little Bing is theideal container tomato!It will flourish in smaller containers, growing 6-8 with a single plant and 12-18 in a mid-sized, multi-plant container. Compact, growing less than 24 with manageable, tidy growth; perfect for an apartment, balcony and other small growing spaces. Honestly one of the best-tasting flavor-filled red cherry-sized tomatoes we have tried from such small plants, and the main reason we are offering this variety. They set and ripen over a period of a few weeks or more. A good one to start extra early for early-season fruits.
