Is this unusual? (micro tomato plants)
My sister grew these from unknown hybrid dwarf seeds (F2).
They are ridiculously small and totally adorable:) I've never seen tomatoes this small (10 cm) with full sized cherry fruits. Is this, well, normal? |

There are some really small varieties out there that are less than 12" high - Micro Tom, Tiny Tim, and Red Robin are all pretty short.

Those look like Micro Tom. I grew some last winter. For sure not Tiny Tim as I have those too. Red Robin I'm testing now and not sure how they look when mature.

I can testify that its not Tiny Tim! Tiny Tim would easily fill out the pot.

That is most likely a Micro Tom! I've grown Micro Tom many times, it is the cutest little thing. I've also grown Red Robin and Tiny Tim, and can say it isn't either of those. Tiny Tim is bigger, and Red Robin grows more upright.

That is just the cutest little thing. I have a teensy tiny Micro Tom plant coming up now with 1st set of true leaves. Its adorable, and I have a funny face clay pot I got as a gift that it's going into!
