Little Bing Tomato

Little Bing is a compact determinate tomato that produces red cherry tomatoes for fresh eating. Ball Seed describes tidy plants with healthy green foliage and a harvest that ripens over a few weeks. [Ball Seed’s Little Bing profile](https://info.ballseed.com/PlantInfo/?phid=062000001034768) lists a mounded habit, summer bloom, and a mature size of 18–24 inches tall by 24–36 inches wide. ## Plant profile The small-fruited crop grows well in medium-sized containers, with or without a trellis, and also fits a sunny garden bed. Ball Seed lists medium water needs and recommends 24–36 inches of spacing. The compact form is part of its Little Collection. ## Growing conditions Tomatoes grow best in full sun and moist, well-drained loamy soil. Keep moisture even to reduce fruit splitting and blossom-end rot, and avoid excess nitrogen that can produce abundant foliage at the expense of fruit. ## Maintenance Plant outdoors after frost danger has passed. Water consistently as fruit forms, and harvest ripe cherry tomatoes for fresh meals or recipes. A container should drain freely and provide adequate root room; support is optional for this compact plant.
