Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I grow at least 5 proven performers in NC for main season and 5 new varieties each year. I also grow at least 2-3 cherry tomatoes and Micro Tom had a lot of appeal for possible winter (indoor) use. Pros: Plant is small, prostrate and quite pretty with many, many flowers.
Cons: Tomatoes have very tough skins and flesh and have a rather unique bitter taste with little tomato flavor that I (or wife) expect and would eat out of hand. Could possibly be adapted to some kind of salad but this would be a stretch.
Summary: Decorative and nice to look at in January I would think.

Micro Tom Tomato 15 Seeds - Worlds SmallestTOMATO: Tomatoes are rich in vitamins and antioxidants, and the seeds are high in fiber. The green parts are mildly poisonous, which is not surprising, as tomatoes are closely related to both nightshade and tobacco. The tomato was originally believed to be poisonous when introduced into Europe, and was used solely as an ornamental plant during the 16th and 17th centuries. The first traces of its use as a food date back to the first half of the 18th century. Tomatoes are now a tasty ingredient in many dishes, and are used fresh, canned, stewed or even sun-dried.
