Microberry is a multiflora, cascading, yellow spoon tomato, developed by Lukas Wallmann, from a cross of Tomberry x Yellow Currant. I posed some on a teaspoon anyway, it's yellow, really tasty, and ridiculously prolific. You could grow it in a hanging basket if you had a big one and committed to watering it a lot. I am growing it in a raised pot, which is now on top of another bucket. I suspect it would do well in a raised bed.
30 tall, 80cm spread, 80cm trailing, determinate growth, regular leaf
Determinate plants have a bushy habit and should not be pruned. They will set all of their fruit at the same time, and if you look after them, you may get several flushes in the same season. When growing cascading varieties in hanging baskets, care must be taken to make sure that the soil is kept moist, but not waterlogged. Baskets can easily dry out in warm weather, causing the compost to become hyrdophobic. As with all container gardening, feed them regularly for the best growth and harvest. Managed well, they will reward you all season long, and are great plants to have outside the back door, for casual snacking as well as bringing indoors to use.
Sow Jan-April indoors
Height Band C
10-15 open-pollinated seeds
