Tumbling Tom Yellow

Tumbling Tom Yellow Tomatoes

Perfect for small spaces, this trailing variety produces a cascade of tiny, round, yellow tomatoes packed with sweet flavour. Ideal for hanging baskets, containers, or medium pots, it’s a cheerful and productive addition to any patio or balcony.

Harvest

Roughly 8 weeks after planting — pick when tomatoes are yellow, swollen, and glossy.

Growing Instructions

• Planting: 45cm apart in well-drained soil, a large pot, or hanging basket.
• Position: Sunny, sheltered spot; greenhouse is ideal, but can also grow in a conservatory or bright window before acclimatising outdoors.
• Watering: Keep soil moist until established and during dry periods, avoiding waterlogging.
• Growth Habit: Trailing plants naturally grow downward; side shoots do not need removing.
• Feeding: Only feed once 3–4 tomatoes start to swell.
• Maintenance: Remove any rotting or dead leaves to keep plants healthy.

Top Tips

• Water Evenly: Irregular watering can cause splitting or poor fruit set.
• Avoid Farmyard Manure: Chemicals in straw bedding can harm your crop.
• Sunshine & Space: Give trailing stems room to cascade for best results.
• Container Care: Hanging baskets and pots warm up quicker than soil, helping fruit set.
