- KarolynVerified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 starsJun 29, 2026Patio "choice" is so choice!
I love how the package says "bush" variety! 2nd year growing in containers on my deck and this year I was prepared with stakes and cages! So delicious and prolific but they are higher than my indeterminate tomatoes in my actual garden. I am 5'10" and as you can see from the photo, it's outgrowing me!

We're so excited to hear about your amazing Patio Choice Yellow success! That's hilarious that your "bush" variety is towering over you at 5'10" - and even taller than your indeterminate tomatoes! Sounds like you definitely made the right call getting those stakes and cages ready for year two. We love that you're getting such delicious and prolific harvests from your deck container setup. Thanks for sharing your fantastic (and surprisingly tall!) tomato growing experience with us! Keep on growing 🌻️
- Heather K.LA, United StatesVerified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 starsMay 10, 2026I don't know why I thought they would be small
These guys are low key insane. I haven't gotten to harvest from them yet, but I have never seen so much fruit on a plan this early. They are bananas. I don't know why I believed they would have a small habit - I even planted one in a smaller pot in hopes of making it even smaller. They have ignored my wishes - they are quite large, sprawling...I am now just trying to contain them before they invade the potato grow bag and overwhelm the potted fig tree I have. lol But it's a good problem to have I suppose!

- Patricia C.Verified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 starsJan 19, 2026Tallest of my micro tomatoes
This tomato has already been trimmed twice for height but keeps growing.
Great vigor in this plant, a little too fast.
Have held off fertilizer for now due to fast growth habit.
Looks to be a great plant for my small garden.
Can't wait to see it outdoors in full growth.

Last year was the first time I tried growing tomatoes, and wow, these far exceeded my expectations! I started seeds early in an indoor hydroponic system then transplanted, resulting in a very long harvest season.
The one I put in the planter grew over 3ft and the ones put in the garden beds were over 5ft tall! Once the plants started fruiting, I had to harvest often and trim aggressively to keep up with the maintenance.
The fruits tasted bright and had slight acidic flavor, perfect for eating fresh or throwing in salads or pasta. I’m now a tomato convert, and can’t wait to try more varieties this year!

We love hearing that the bright, slightly acidic flavor was perfect for fresh eating, salads, and pasta. There's nothing quite like that first successful tomato harvest to turn someone into a tomato convert! Your hydroponic start and transplant method sounds like it really gave you that extended harvest season too.
