Tidy Treat Tomato

Tidy Treat Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) – 4–5 Inch Pot
Available in Jupiter, FL. at Urban Abundance.

Looking for big tomato flavor in a small space? The Tidy Treat Tomato delivers. This compact, cherry-sized tomato variety is part of the Solanaceae family and is classified as a warm-season fruiting annual vegetable, bred specifically for container growing without sacrificing productivity or taste.

With its tidy, mounding habit and non-stop harvest potential, this plant is ideal for raised beds, patio planters, and garden nooks. Available in a 4–5 inch pot, it’s the perfect size for transplanting directly into your edible garden setup.

Sunlight Needs: Full sun—aim for 6–8 hours per day for optimal fruiting.
Watering Needs: Moderate. Keep soil consistently moist but well-drained. Water at the soil level to avoid foliage diseases.
Soil Requirements: Loose, fertile soil enriched with compost. Prefers slightly acidic to neutral pH.
Growth Habit: Determinate (bushy and compact). Grows to about 18–24 inches tall and wide. Does not require staking, though a small cage can help support heavy fruit loads.
Fruit Timing: Produces sweet cherry tomatoes starting about 50–55 days after transplanting.
Cold Tolerance: Not frost-hardy. Plant after danger of frost has passed and grow through the cool, dry season (October–March) in South Florida.
Special Features:

• Compact habit ideal for containers and small gardens

• Great for balconies, patios, and raised beds

• Continuous harvest of bite-sized, flavorful fruit

• Low-maintenance and highly productive

South Florida Notes: Tidy Treat thrives in our mild winter season, when tomatoes are most productive and disease pressure is lowest. Perfect for gardeners who want a clean, high-yielding tomato without the vine sprawl. Great for beginners and container gardeners alike.

Next steps after purchase:
