Tomatoes can take up a lot of space. Dwarf tomatoes take up less space, but usually grow at least 1 m tall. Micro dwarfs like the Bonsai tomato variety reach a height of just 30 cm. This makes them the best choice for growing in very confined spaces like vertical gardens, window boxes or pots. One of the best things about Bonsai is that it bears prolifically. It's almost unbelievable how many tomatoes you can get from each plant. And aside from being yummy, these little darlings are really pretty!

  • Growing Information

    How to Sow

    Tomatoes are best sown in trays about 6-8 weeks prior to the last frost. Sow seeds about 5mm deep and keep the soil temperature to about 20 celcius until germination. Once the plants have grown their second leaves the seedlings can be transplanted into larger individual pots. Keep the tomato seedlings in a warm sunny position and maintain moisture levels. When planting out, position the plants so that soil covers the entire stem up to the first leaves. This will increase root development and ensure a healthy strong plant. Plants should be placed in full sun and rich soil.

    How to Harvest

    Tomatoes ripened on the vine will be ready once they show their mature colour. The fruits can also be squeezed and should yield slightly when ripe. If frost occurs and temperatures drop late in the season all tomatoes can be picked. Tomatoes that do not ripen on the vine can be ripened indoors by being placed in a warm place out or direct sun.

    Growing Micro Tomato. A learning process

    I would just like to emphasise that the seeds are VERY small & delicate. You can easily lose sight of them if you drop one. Do not try and plant each out when there is even a slight breeze blowing they will all disappear. It may help to have something fine like tweezers to pick each one up and plant them into a seed-raising mix. The finer the mix the better as far as I am concerned.

    I planted these out end of November 2024 and had a reasonably good strike rate. I still only have plants with a couple of branches and say 3 cm high. Not sure if it is something I have done. Given them liquid feed and regular light watering. So very very slow growers. Let's see if or when I get an actual fully grown plant with fruit. I planted each seed individually into small plastic seed-raising pottles. A learning process for sure.

    Micro Tomatoes

    Seeds were great, high germination rate but all micros were very susceptible to hornworm attack +++++

    So far so good

    No tomatoes yet but very healthy looking seedlings with plenty of flowers. So excited for this new variety. Thanks Seeds of Plenty
