Stupice in a container?

jmsieglaff · February 9, 2015

To those that have/do grow Stupice. How do you think it would do in a 5 gallon bucket? I've had great success growing dwarf tomatoes and to a lesser degree indeterminate cherries in those, but have had issues with BER when trying to grow non-dwarf, larger than cherry sizes likely due to inconsistent soil moisture. But from what I read, the smaller sized fruits and relatively compact plant habit may lend well to growing these in a container. I suppose worst case by later July if they plant has out grown the container and is struggling, I just pull it and enjoy the other varieties that will start ripening, as I will have enjoyed many ripe tomatoes by then. My earliest is always Sungold, but I think Stupice will win that race.
