Stupice vs. Pipo vs. Mano?

[Greatgardens]

I've grown Stupice quite a few times, and always with good success. In my experience it is no earlier than Early Girl, although the plant is a bit smaller. Since it is a smallish plant, it grows fine for me in an Earthbox. I've never grown Pipo, although it is suggested that it is even earlier than Stupice. (?) Anyone grown it? How large is the plant -- would it work OK in an Earthbox? (I know some folks grow very large plants successfully in an EB, but I just don't have the room, so I'm thinking more along the lines of Compact Indet. or Dwarf Indet.) I've also not grown Mano before, although I know it is supposed to be a dwarf indeterminate, so it also should do well in an EB. Any thoughts on it?

I have grown Pipo and it did very well in a 3 gallon container, so an Earthbox would be plenty big enough and I wonder if you could even plant two????

The same goes for Early Annie, Russian Cherry and Jagodka. Jagodka was the earliest of the three when I grew them last season.

I'm a big fan of Mano, flavor is excellent. Cyril's Choice is my other favorite red dwarf.

I second C_R's vote for Mano. Productive little guy, no need to qualify the taste by saying "for an early tomato." Good to great flavor. Haven't done Stupice or Pipo.

My vote is for Stupice
I do not like Mano too much. I never have grown Pipo

I am an open air gardener (mostly)

That's interesting. I think Gerado got his Mano seeds from me (right?).

What did you not like about Mano? I am just curious.
