How to sow and grow bush tomatoes
This bush tomato plant gets to be 50 - 80 cm tall, so you don't need a trellis. It grows great in an MM-Mini grow bag or in the back row of a garden box.
The tomatoes are about 5 - 7 cm in diameter and have an old-fashioned tomato taste: not too sweet but very tasty.

What is a bush tomato?
Most tomato plants grow big and tall and need to be tied to a trellis or rack so they don't fall over.
A bush tomato stays small and compact because the stem is shorter. They grow great without a trellis. They may need a little support from a stick of bamboo when the plant is full of tomatoes, but that's it.
There's no need to remove the side shoots on bush tomatoes. You want them nice and bushy after all.
