Best saladette size tomato?
Folks, I am growing lots of salad size tomatoes in containers, up trellises like cherries. They do very well. My staples are:
Jaunne Flamme Bloody Butcher Halley's Purple Comet Red Zebra (very very productive) Not very successful: Grappoli D'Inverno Ailsa Craig Green Zebra What do you suggest for salad size tomatoes in terms of flavor and production? |

Bulgarian Triumph is tasty, compact, productive, and produces perfect orbs.

For flavor, Wild Tiger. Not overly productive.

Pink Ping Pong is great. Here, it was a very tall, vigorous plant with great yield. It wasn’t as early as Jaune Flamme, but it was more productive.

Mandarin is worth a try!
Last year they were a little bigger than saladette, but a good tomato! Last edited by pmcgrady; February 18, 2019 at 10:17 PM. |

very partial to KARMA peach as well
you may like to try some of Fred Hempel`s newer ones such as green bee or Fuego Verde (green fire) some folks who grew them had ripe fruit that kept very well until December and January! KarenO |

Bola Maciza as a dark, and I also like Bosque Blue Bumble Bee, which is a pale yellow antho. Both of them can vary in size depending on the weather.

I loved Haley Purple Comet, did have some splitting. Similar Kazachka but no splitting.
There is one that is just uber perfect, translated " For Exhibition" or Vustavochnyi? by Tania, round red that is tasty and has no blemishes. I have been growing it for couple of years now. |
