Tomato - Tumbler

Common Name: Tumbler Tomato

Description:
Tomato 'Tumbler' is a trailing, determinate cherry tomato variety known for its high yields of small, sweet, bright red fruits. This compact, cascading plant is perfect for hanging baskets, pots, and raised garden beds, producing clusters of juicy tomatoes from early summer through autumn. Thriving in Melbourne’s climate, it prefers well-drained soil, full sun, and regular watering.
