\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Mano<\/strong> is a super compact, early-season determinate bush that thrives in containers. Maxing out around just 16 inches (40 cm), it produces sweet, red cocktail-sized tomatoes weighing 1.4-2.1 oz (40-60 g). Because of its miniature footprint, growers often use it as an understory crop beneath tall vines in the greenhouse. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

Mano. Early determinate bush variety, grew it in a 2.5-3 gallon (10-12 liter) pot. Height is about 16 inches (40 cm), I didn’t prune the suckers. The fruits are red and round, about 1.5-2 oz (40-60 g), really tasty with some sweetness \ud83d\ude0b Seeds are from Redko.<\/p>\n

I need to try growing it in the greenhouse at the feet of the indeterminate vines (like the June tomato) \ud83d\udcdd If it keeps its sweet flavor and sets fruit well in the shade, it’ll go on my permanent grow list.<\/p>\n
