Question

Do Husky Cherry Tomato plants get very tall? I planted some a month ago and they're only 10" tall.?

Answer 1

Hi. No, they won't get very tall; they are a bush type. I bought one at a local nursery, and the tag says it is indeterminate, which means it would get tall and leggy,  but the plant is short, with fat stems. The tag must be mislabeled, even though the name is right. I got on Bonnie nursery's own website, and this is what it says about the plant:

"Husky Cherry Red VF

Fruit size: 1 inch

Matures: 65 days

Plant type: Determinate

One of the popular “Husky” series developed especially for home gardens. What makes this hybrid so great is that the determinate vines are short and husky (4 feet), yielding lots of tasty fruit in a small space over a long period of time. Perfect for pots. In the garden, space 24 to 36 inches apart.

Many juicy, sweet cherry tomatoes are borne on vines resistant to verticillium wilt (V) and fusarium wilt (F). Can get by without staking. "

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

It's only been a month.  10 inches sounds normal.   They will shoot up as the summer goes by.

Answer 3

Yes. Make sure you put a tomato cage around them while they are still somewhat small. Once they start to thicken, it is a lot harder and there is a chance that the plant could tip over and break.

Answer 4

They can...it is worth it to buy a product called wall of water for super growth. Here is a link it is awesome. But sometimes hard to find at a retailer. I have seen these things in action and you will not be disapointed.

To see the difference do not put this wall of water around one of your plants. Search for best prices this is just a link to show you what it is. Miracle growth is used as well.
