Patio Tomato 'Jo & Grace'

Common name: Patio Tomato 'Jo & Grace'

Description: Jo & Grace is a compact patio tomato variety bred for container growing in smaller outdoor spaces. It produces a generous crop of sweet, bite-sized cherry tomatoes on a naturally bushy, self-supporting plant that requires no staking or complicated training. Its neat habit and abundant fruiting make it an excellent choice for patios, balconies, and courtyards where space is limited. The fruits are sweet and flavoursome, ripening reliably through the summer months.
