Tiny Tim......??? Carolyn

patty_b · August 6, 2007

I am not sure if what I am growing sounds close enough to be Tiny Tim. 1 inch round red cherry.....that I have but my plants are sprawling 3-4 foot vines filling and spilling out of the cages. According to the 2006 SSE, Tiny Tim should be maybe 8-12 inches tall. With this great difference can this still be called Tiny Tim....or has others grown a taller Tiny Tim?? Thanks, Patty

..........not sure how to edit my post above, but that should have been 3-4 foot vines!

If it's a 3-4 foot tall plant, it's not Tiny Tim.

As for editing,

Patty, I'm sorry but I've never grown Tiny Tim, although I have grown Red Robin, which is similar.

Similar in that both are determinate and both grow only about a foot high, Red Robin a bit moroe.

So what you describe with such long vines and it sounds like an indet plant habit sure doesn't sound like Tiny Tim to me.
