Best characterised as a cascading micro dwarf, Tumbling Tigress reaches a maximum of 35cm tall, and with extremely compact growth, it doesn’t get any wider than 30cm either. This is a perfect plant for a balcony rail planter, a small hanging basket, or even a 2lt pot on the patio. Producing plenty of delicious, plum shaped, red and green striped cherries with an attractive pointy nose, this is one you need.
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
10-15 open-pollinated seeds
