Akrobat (cascading/trailing cherry)
A very interesting variety of cascading cherry tomatoes. Just one plant in a pot, hanging basket, or barrel forms a lush bush with a waterfall of flowers and sweet red fruits—round with a tiny little beak on the end. It features a long fruiting period and remains highly decorative until the very end of the season. If you tie it to a support stake, the height is about 50 cm (20 inches).
I grew one plant per 12-liter (3.2-gallon) pot.
You are such a temptress! 😅
In 2025, I am growing two “Acrobats” in a cut-in-half barrel. I’m tying them to a stake so they don’t fall over. They are starting to set fruit. Well, I did pinch off a couple of suckers…
