I grew Kardinal in a 5 gallon pot this year. It did pretty well but EM Champion was the best I thought.

The above 4 mentioned will be hard to match or beat .... When Filtered for EARLY , High Yield , Container friendly etc. I will stay on course and try for 2018 : Danko and Dwarf Lemon Ice as well . But still It is hard to imagine many other hearts being as fine.

Larisa
Yes, with only one qualifier, it likes to put out suckers like crazy, which can be a good or bad thing, depending on your needs. Medium large to large fruit. I'd send you seeds but I'm on a self imposed TSWV quarantine.

http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Danko Another one to consider is Podarok Fe ( gift of the Fairy),also det and a very small orange heart. I sent seeds of it to someone I think maybe 2 years ago who wanted to use it to create an orange multiflora. http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Podarok_Fei Carolyn

I think Podarok Fei was offered by Victory seeds before ... maybe still does if one asks nicely ? Sounds most interesting to try .

http://www.victoryseeds.com/tomato_podorok-fei.html I tried it when Carolyn had it in her offer some years ago. It didn't make it to fruit production that year, but it tried hard, so I bought some seed from Victory and it's grown here (in the ground) and done well. When happy, it produced fruit a little larger than Zolotoe Serdtse, though as per Victory's listing, there was a size range. Both those, when happy, were earlyish and abundant producers, here, though. |

Actually, for next year I'm looking for an early single-set determinate. But these four have a lot going for them; maybe 2019...
