How to care for Tomato Tumbling Tom Yellow:
Tumbling tomatoes are naturally self-branching and will normally cascade on their own, but can be encouraged by pinching out the growing tip once they reach 25-30cm (10-12in).
Feed weekly with seaweed extract once flowers form. Keep water levels in the soil consistent to prevent blossom end rot and split fruit.
