Enjoy homegrown cherry tomatoes even in a compact space with Tomato Cherry Determinate Tiny Tim. Introduced by the University of New Hampshire in 1945, Tiny Tim develops a tidy dwarf plant approximately 8 to 16 inches tall under suitable conditions. The compact determinate habit is ideal for patio pots, small raised beds, balconies, and other space-conscious gardens. Plants produce clusters of bright red cherry tomatoes with classic fresh tomato flavor, and the short stature makes fruit easy to see and harvest. Tiny Tim typically matures in approximately 60 days from transplant.

Germination Rate: 84%. Test Date: 6/26. JSS.

Texas Minimum Germination Rate: 75%

Why Choose Tiny Tim Cherry Tomato?

• True Dwarf Growth: Compact plants fit patios, balconies, windowside containers, raised beds, and small gardens.
• Determinate Habit: Plants remain tidy and produce a concentrated crop without the long, sprawling vines of indeterminate tomatoes.
• Fast Maturity: Fruit typically begins maturing in about 60 days from transplant under suitable conditions.
• Bright Red Cherry Fruit: Small tomatoes provide convenient portions for snacking, salads, skewers, and lunch boxes.
• Easy Harvesting: The short plant keeps ripening clusters visible and within easy reach.
• Non-GMO Heirloom Seed: Grow an open-pollinated variety introduced in 1945 and save properly isolated seed from mature fruit.

Planting Tips for Success

• Start Indoors: Sow seeds 6 to 8 weeks before the expected last frost and transplant after frost danger has passed.
• Provide Full Sun: Give plants at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily for sturdy growth and good fruit production.
• Choose the Container: Use a container with drainage holes and enough soil volume to keep roots evenly moist without becoming waterlogged.
• Use Fertile Soil: Plant in rich, well-draining garden soil or quality potting mix amended with compost.
• Space for Airflow: Avoid crowding plants so air can circulate around the dense dwarf foliage.
• Water Consistently: Check containers frequently and water at soil level when needed, since small pots can dry quickly.
• Support if Needed: Tiny Tim often stays self-supporting, but a small stake or cage can help if branches become heavy with fruit.
• Fertilize Thoughtfully: Feed according to soil needs and avoid excessive nitrogen, which can encourage leaves instead of tomatoes.
• Harvest: Pick fruit when it reaches a uniform bright red color and feels firm but ripe.
