Has anybody here grown Tumbling Tiger F-1 hybrid?

What are your thoughts?

My thoughts are that while I know about 8 varieties with tiger as part of the variety name I hadn't heard of one that tumbled.

So I Googled it to find out that it's a relatively new very compact I guess trailing, which doesn't really along with compact, ahem, variety that was British bred and introduced, I guess, by Thompson and Morgan:

Well, they do say it trails "gently".

I bought one clearanced from Wallyworld. It did tumble and I did grow it in a hanging pail. It was a very pretty tomato, red with green stripes, larger than a cherry. The foliage was what I would call rugose with fairly good disease resistance. The flavor was good but not outstanding and the skin a bit tough for me.
