It stays incredibly short, usually around 10-16 inches (25-40 cm) tall. The vines are very flexible and naturally cascade, making it an absolute superstar for hanging baskets, large barrels, and patio containers. <strong>Requires absolutely zero pruning or suckering!<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf45 <strong>Fruit Characteristics:<\/strong> Small, bright pink, perfectly round cherry\/cocktail fruits weighing about 1-1.4 oz (30-40 g). They are produced in massive, overwhelming clusters.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc45 <strong>Flavor:<\/strong> Classic, sweet, and juicy with a nice tang.

I love just grabbing a few every time I walk past it. It does require constant watering and feeding, though. The only downside is that with our constant bad weather, downpours, and gales, I had to keep dragging it into the shelter and back out, and it weighs a ton.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">I<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">ilja (Ilya) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Enthusiast (758 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Klin District, Moscow Region, Russia (USDA Zone 4)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>Korean Creeper ripened pretty early in the greenhouse.

I was planning to leave it growing in a large bucket, but red ants moved in and started eating the roots, the plant started turning yellow. I had to drench it for ants and transplant it into the ground. It bounced back. I planted another one straight into the dirt from the start. The one in the pot grew well, but you definitely have to feed them with liquid organic-mineral fertilizers. It fruits right up until the frost. It&#8217;s best to feed it all summer long, then the yields are fantastic. Pulled our first fruits as early as May.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">D<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">DirliMirli (Natalya) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Enthusiast (1 post)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Russian Far East (USDA Zone 3)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>Hey everyone, I completely fell in love with Korean Creeper and I&#8217;ll never drop it from my list. I&#8217;ve been growing it in a barrel for a few years now. It&#8217;s super convenient to put 5 plants per barrel.<\/p>\n<p>At first, I keep them under a row cover dome, then when they run out of space, I uncover them. No tying up at all, they just cascade down the sides of the barrel!<\/p>\n<p>When the bulk of the fruit hits the breaker stage (starts turning white), I strip all the foliage, suckers, and new flowers. That&#8217;s it! Just wait for them to ripen. Very tasty, pink, meaty, fantastic for canning. Honestly, I&#8217;m just increasing the number of barrels every year.<\/p>\n<p>That massive pile sitting on the timber beam is just from one barrel. I ripped those plants completely out my first year because people scared me about fog and said it was time to pull all tomatoes. They all ripened perfectly on the balcony! Hung them upside down. But now I just wrap the barrel in row cover and let them ripen on the vine.<\/p>\n<p>Highly recommend it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_02\/099f7c31-85b9-41ce-bae9-0065beffa26a.jpg.383ca53b0b070ecaac84bdeabc4831a4.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_02\/099f7c31-85b9-41ce-bae9-0065beffa26a.thumb.jpg.b08064c5f9db8d56ff22778a9e195954.jpg\" alt=\"Korean Creeper tomatoes growing in a barrel\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_02\/1590825071_.jpg.e9202461c18fe698a25e6ab0a725da68.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_02\/1257305620_.thumb.jpg.093762237bd4c583ad8ed92fcd2d296b.jpg\" alt=\"Massive pile of harvested Korean Creeper tomatoes on a timber beam\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_02\/908d717e-dc47-4266-ae3b-292c16f6aa10.jpg.3bbbc0cdc23be5ea2e3c5ad76b99c7f4.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_02\/908d717e-dc47-4266-ae3b-292c16f6aa10.thumb.jpg.e82fa131ba7dc42996667b7db03be78f.jpg\" alt=\"Plants cascading down the sides of the barrel\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_02\/787dc6c8-5d59-45a7-b8b8-6b0b44305634.jpg.904cf25fc06ac9ffb9994bb0d1c9678d.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_02\/787dc6c8-5d59-45a7-b8b8-6b0b44305634.thumb.jpg.c9cdc2808c79a1a5b999f65cb66d5105.jpg\" alt=\"Vines loaded with unripe tomatoes hanging from a container\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_02\/2e3bc166-fc48-45bb-834e-7f60db9964e3.jpg.d0350dff2824edbfbed06713afe39bf4.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_02\/2e3bc166-fc48-45bb-834e-7f60db9964e3.thumb.jpg.2e87f6137c87e6f3b7199541755f0ac5.jpg\" alt=\"Stripped vines showing massive clusters of fruit\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_02\/77c15471-538f-4610-ba7a-a5dea2b731ac.jpg.ee5cf7c3bfcd1ceed79ca9c5034cbbb9.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_02\/77c15471-538f-4610-ba7a-a5dea2b731ac.thumb.jpg.6abda6fe035603a558f4d9cf4e2b89ef.jpg\" alt=\"Close up of fruit clusters on stripped vines\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">N<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Natalka (Natalya) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Enthusiast (2 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Borovichi, Novgorod Region, Russia (USDA Zone 4)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>My Korean tomatoes ended up being the size of a large cherry \ud83e\udd26.
