Bonsai Micro Dwarf Tomato (10-15 seeds)
The 'Bonsai' tomato variety is a popular choice for anyone seeking a truly compact and productive tomato plant, often fitting its name by being suitable for very small spaces.
Type: It's a micro dwarf tomato. This means it's one of the smallest tomato varieties available, typically growing only 15-30 cm in height, though in some some cases up to 40cm.
Growth Habit: It has a determinate growth habit. This is a crucial feature for micro dwarfs. It means the plant grows to a predetermined size, produces its fruit crop over a relatively short and concentrated period, and then stops growing significantly. This makes it very low-maintenance, as it generally does not require staking or pruning of suckers.
Origin: Often cited as originating from Russia.
Foliage: It has regular leaf foliage.
Fruit Appearance: It produces small, round cherry-type fruits that ripen to a classic bright red. They are typically about 2.5-3.3 cm in diameter.
Flavour: 'Bonsai' tomatoes have a balanced, sweet, and mild flavour.They are juicy and pleasant for fresh eating.
Maturity: It's an early-season variety, typically maturing in 100-110 days from seed sowing. This makes it one of the quickest micro dwarfs to produce fruit, often being among the first tomatoes to ripen in a collection
.
Productivity: Despite its tiny stature, 'Bonsai' is known to be very productive, yielding a significant number of cherry tomatoes for its size. The plants can become pretty well loaded!
'Bonsai' is a fantastic choice for gardeners who want a reliable, early-producing, and delicious red cherry tomato in a super compact form, perfect for limited spaces or indoor cultivation.
