Cordon Varieties

Gardener’s Delight - cherry - early
Moneymaker - medium - mid-season

Sungold - yellow cherry - early
Sun Cherry Premium - early
Marmande - large beef - mid/late-season
Black Cherry - early
Brandywine - large - late-season
Caspian Pink - large - mid-season

Cordon varieties need to be supported by a cane or other form of support and are best grown up against a wall or firm structure.

Tomato cages are also a great way to support tall tomato plants.

These tomatoes are Oregon Spring ... grown on a large bush plant that requires a large container for its roots.

Tip
It is a general rule that the larger the fruit, the larger the plant (where bush varieties are concerned).
This means that you’ll probably need a large container to grow large bush tomatoes.

Cherry varieties can usually be grown in pots and smaller containers such as hanging baskets.
