Spoon Tomato

Intense, sweet-tart burst — addictive snacking tomato

The smallest tomato in the garden — fruits the size of a large blueberry — and arguably the most intensely flavored. Spoon tomato is one of the oldest tomato types, closest to the wild Solanum pimpinellifolium ancestor. The tiny fruits burst with concentrated sweet-tart flavor and the plants are extraordinarily vigorous and productive.

Placed in 5-gal containers scattered for visual effect, paired with Mexican sour gherkins. Extremely productive.

Why This Plant Is Here

Spoon Tomato has a specific role in this year's garden: flavor, beauty, pollinator support, story, or seasonal production.
