Enjoy fresh tomatoes in the dead of winter! The plants are truly micro, never reaching 12 inches tall. It yields a good amount of small orange cherry-sized fruit at a time from each plant, and they provide an extended harvest by continuing to set flowers and bear new fruit after each harvest. Excellent for patio containers and growlight growing. Orange Hat is a Russian variety that is known there as Oranzhevaja Shapochka, which being translated means "Orange Riding Hood".
Each packet contains 10 seeds.
These little plants are fun to grow and they are still producing even in October. They are smaller than the rosy finch tomatoes. They are a very nice orange color and have a somewhat sweet, mild taste. Will grow again.
I grew these in 1.5 quart containers with no drainage and regular neglect, with just a sunny window for light. They are very healthy, disease resistant plants. Adorable too! The first crop from two plants filled an 8 oz juice cup, and they flowered and are producing a second round. One plant is 10 inches, the other 8 inches. The only thing is… they aren't so tasty. They do have both mild sweetness and some acidity, but the acidity—to my taste, which is possibly too close to college—has hint of stomach acid that conjures undelightful memories. Both right off the plant and with a week of ripening. Mine also have tough skins. Usually the sunny window makes small fruit but doesn't affect flavor too much. So while I am still growing out the plants, I have not finished my juice cup yet.
I was truly impressed with this Micro-Produced extremely well and was easy to grow indoors(Aerogarden) and outdoors as well in my Greenstalk planter. I will plant this again next year and would recommend!
