Red Rocket bush tomato
 

Here's a Red Rocket bush tomato in a 12" pot. It has about a dozen green flower buds near the top that might open next week.

This plant is living up to its name by quickly developing a compact structure on a robust central leader. The caliper at the base is about 3/4".

I looked it up and it's early too! There's not a lot of discussion out there about it though.

You'll have to report back on the taste :cute:.

I have grown red rocket in the ground several times.
It is one of my favorites.
It got about waist high very bushy and was just loaded with tomatoes.
Not a super star here so to speak but a real winner for me.
I always recommended it for early tomatoes in the south west.

It sounds great Worth!

I'm going to put it on my wish list for next year!

36 red rockets!:shock:
If they produce like they should you are going to have tomatoes running out your ears.
I could see each plant putting out 36 tomatoes easily.
That would be 1296 tomatoes almost all at once.:))

Reminds me of this classic ...
