It is usual to grow 'bush' type toms in those containers. If it's the same dark cherry that I grow its a cordon type, that could be your explanation.

And it is the nature of most plants to grow towards the light, which is generally upwards!Comment

I've heard good things about chocolate cherry and there are several vendors who sell the seeds for these. Like Potstubsdustbins stated, this should be a cordon so it will be interesting to see how it grows in a topsy turvy. Let us know how it gets on!
