Cherry tomato - small, tasty, bite-size tomatoes. These varieties ripen early in the season and are a favorite garden snack for adults and kids alike.

Their compact growth habit makes them perfect for containers, small gardens, or raised beds, and they typically require less pruning and support than indeterminate varieties.
