Grows up to 1.5 ft (0.5 m) tall. Fruit weight up to 1 oz (30 g). Fantastic yield, fruits are firm and super glossy.<\/p>\n<p>I grew mine right on the windowsill in a half-gallon (2-liter) pot. Started the seeds in December. I actually pinched all the suckers because the bush kept getting top-heavy and tipping over\u2014the pot was just too small, and there was no way to set up a stake in it.<\/p>\n<p>The taste is your classic tomato flavor with a little tang. The fruits are nice and firm, making them excellent for whole-fruit canning or just snacking. The skin is perfectly fine, not too thick at all.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/64\/111-160515041730.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/64\/111-160515041730.jpeg\" alt=\"Mickey Mouse Red cherry tomatoes on a plate, photo posted by ElenaN (1)\" width=\"486\" height=\"416\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/64\/111-160515041805.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/64\/111-160515041805.jpeg\" alt=\"Mickey Mouse Red tomatoes harvested, photo posted by ElenaN (2)\" width=\"502\" height=\"405\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/64\/111-160515041748.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/64\/111-160515041748.jpeg\" alt=\"Mickey Mouse Red cherry tomato sliced open, photo posted by ElenaN (3)\" width=\"505\" height=\"365\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/60\/111-040415055836.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/60\/111-040415055836.jpeg\" alt=\"Mickey Mouse Red micro dwarf plant growing in a pot on a windowsill, photo posted by ElenaN\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- FULL SUMMARY --><\/p>\n<div id=\"full-summary\" class=\"tldr-box\" style=\"background: #f4f9f4; padding: 20px; border-left: 5px solid #4CAF50; margin-top: 30px; border-radius: 4px;\">\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 0;\">Full Summary: Plant, Yield, Taste and Storage<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\ud83c\udf3f <strong>Plant:<\/strong> A highly compact micro-dwarf determinate that stays under 1.5 ft (0.5 m).
