Tumbling Tom Red is a compact, bushy variety, producing lots of delicious red, cherry size fruits that are bursting with flavour. They are self branching and usually cascade on their own.

There is no comparison between a store bought tomato and one you have just grown and picked from the vine. Homegrown tomatoes are warm from the sun, vibrant and have a depth of flavour, second to none. Explore the world of varieties, colours, flavours from sweet cherry to juicy beef tomatoes. Packed with vitamins, these fruits have lush foliage, adding an ornamental value, with the added benefit of saving you money, with a continuous supply throughout the season.

Choose from 3 different delivery slots for either 9cm pots or starter (plug) plants. This allows you to choose when you get the plants depending on your facilities.

    About the Tomato Tumbling Tom Red

    Care Instructions

    Tomatoes thrive in rich free draining soil. Space plants 45-60cm apart. Water young plants well to settle the compost in snugly. Continue to water well for a bountiful crop. Most Tomato plants need staking or stringing to growing frames.

    Position, sunlight and more

    Tomato Plants need a sunny, warm spot that is sheltered from wind.

    Height and Spread

    Tumbling Tom Red will grow in height to 30cm.

    Feeding, Pruning & more

    Feeding - Once they begin to flower, fertilise your tomato plants weekly with a balanced liquid fertiliser. Pruning - Remove side shoots during growing season. Propagation - Seeds are a good way to grow new tomatoes. Or take cuttings from the side shoots, remove the lower leaves, then place cuttings in glass of water, pop on a sunny windowsill until you see the root system developing. Plant into larger pots when root is established.

    Our pot & plant size explained

    At Newlands Nursery we grow and sell plants in a variety of different sizes, from small starter plants up to planted containers. 

    We know it can be tricky to picture the size of each plant. This page gives you an idea of the size of the plants we are sending out.

    Please keep in mind that plants vary from one season to the next. The size of the plant refers to the pot or plug it is grown in, rather than the height of the plant, unless specifically mentioned on the plant page.

    Starter Plant (Plug Plant)

    Plug Size: 2cm by 4cm. Our most popular size. This is often the most economical way of buying plants and is a great way to get a head start on the season. Generally this size is best to be potted up before planting out.
