Which are the best bush Tomatoes?

[Scoot]

I want to grow some sort of tomato bush variety. I want to grow them out of a hanging basket.

Please give me your ideas...

Hanging baskets are normally used for trailing toms, cherry toms etc. If you want to try growing a bush tom, maybe consider an upside down planter.

This may help you decide on a variety Best tomatoes for hanging baskets - Telegraph
The bush tomatoes that I grow are much too big for a hanging basket. As BM said, you need a trailing tom that is recommended for growing in a basket, which excludes a lot of "bush" tomatoes.

Hundreds and Thousands is a fantastic tasting cherry tomato, really rich flavour, I dont know why it isnt more popular, I grow Sungold last year aswell and for me the Hundreds and thousands was the better tasting.

I love 100s&1000s too. They can be a bit thick skinned at the start but they lose that as they go on. They are VERY prolific

I'm growing maskotka this year and tumbling tom

I grow Maskota for a bush tomato too. I've never tried growing them in a hanging basket though....

I grow Maskotka too, really good but find Tumbling Tom tasteless by comparison. There is quite a bit of personal taste here too so try a few and see what you like. As already said, most bush types are too big for baskets.

Maksota: baskets, buckets, bed, grow bags, grow bags folded over crop bars. It's tough as anything and will give you a crop even while it's dying at the end of the season. The only proviso is some people find it a bit sharp. Latah is all right, I don't think I gave it the best chance a couple of years ago, it is very sprawly so it's going straight into a hanging position high up in the tunnel. I've just noticed Real Seeds have one that's a bit blight tolerant - one for me for next year maybe but too big for a basket.

I grow Garden Pearl and Peardrops is a good yellow one as well.

I'd agree that Peardrops is nice too.

I'm trying both as early sown toms...Maskotka on your recommendation! I know taste is personal...kids love quite bland toms, I love something with a bit of bite. Hoping I can get them both to fruit well before my later sown toms, I'm already doing the walk to and fro the GH morning and night

Gah! I wasn't meant to be buying any more seeds this year, now I've gone and ordered these. I couldn't resist a yellow tom to compliment my red, orange and 'black' ones.

I'm going to have several sowings of Maksota this year to see if I can send my two students of to uni in September with something that will crop for a reasonable length of time. The plants I put in in "late" last year weren't worth taking. (Other crops do make the journey.)
