Tried my first fruit yesterday, excellent. It is an ideal plant for containers.

This seed was started with my very early cold tolerant tomatoes and its the first have a bloom, beating Stupice. Poor thing has another month to primarily live indoors in a one gallon pot with trips outside when sunny and over 45 degrees.

Mr. Hemple...I have seen it mentioned upthread that Maglia Rosa does well in containers...I saw 5-gallon referenced; but do you feel that is large enough? Would you recommend ten, or even twenty for maximum performance?

I think 5 gallon is good, and that you might not get much more production in 10 or 20. But, with the larger containers the risk of the container drying out in a heat-wave goes way down.
During hot days you might have to water 2 or 3 times with a 5 gallon container. |

Yeah, that's normal. A lot of Fred's varieties have wispy foliage.

Pink Tiger is wispy. So is Maglia Rosa, Green Tiger, Blush and Lucky Tiger.
The Bumblebees are not wispy. |

They can be a bit wispy, but not full on.

I am growing Maglia Rosa this season. I looked online, and read about it here, but other than that, I can't find much about Maglia Rosa. My plants are potato leaf, just getting a few true leaves. I know it is determinate, and read it can be grown it a 5 gallon pot, pick at pink stage...but is there anything else? I am excited about growing it.

Well, I can say that it is definitely not potato leaf.
Where did you get your seed? |

Not potato leaf for sure.
You can probably put two or three MR to occupy one regular spot. They are small plants with no backbones, but lots of side branches. It would be hard to stake or trellis them, but doable. A tall sturdy pot for them to hang down naturally on the side would work better. I planted mine on the edge of a tall raised bed (18"), buried long sections of the main roots and stems (for more new roots in the future), so they can hang freely downwards. Behind them will be the regulars with trellis support. |
