I made a post this past summer about "Linda" -- a basket tomato from Ukraine. I would call this a near micro -- growing to a max of about 15" (although sprawling a bit). Nevertheless, a very small plant. I put two of these in a 12" hanging basket and they did great, producing a few fruit of nearly 4 oz (most 2-3 oz). I ripped out one plant and cut the other back nearly to the soil, and it regenerated, making a good run for me with some nice "fall tomatoes." I'm also going to plant a couple to grow under lights, but I'll probably have to "top" the plant due to lack of headroom.

At least from my experience, that's quite a tomato from a plant so small. Patio F1 produces 3-4 oz fruit in large numbers, but it is much larger plant.

Are there others that produce relatively large fruit from near-micro plants? There is also a pink version of Linda that I'm going to try next season, but whether it will produce large fruit like Linda red remains to be seen.
