Orange Hat

Described as sweet and pleasant on a tiny plant, a cheerful micro cherry. This is the recurring catalog and grower description, not a measured claim.

A micro dwarf orange cherry tomato bred for the smallest containers and indoor growing under lights.

• Dwarf habit. It stays compact and short, at home in a large container or on a balcony, with little or no staking.
• Ripens early, under about 70 days, one of the safer picks where the summer is short.
• Generally forgiving and beginner-friendly to grow.
• One of our picks for the cold, short-season gardens of New England.
