Variety characteristics:

• 573 Tiny Totem may have a miniature name and growth habit, but it produces surprisingly large fruits for a micro-dwarf tomato. Compact plants remain approximately 10 to 12 inches tall in containers yet bear heavy crops of smooth, round red tomatoes weighing approximately 0.7 to 2.8 oz. The juicy fruits contain relatively few seeds and offer a pleasantly sweet, full tomato flavor. Depending on size, they can be enjoyed whole as snacks or sliced for salads, sandwiches, appetizers, and small tomato platters. Plants perform well indoors or outdoors and can grow successfully in 6-inch pots or 1-gallon containers, making them especially useful for windowsills, balconies, patios, and limited spaces.
