Tomato Tree
New and Improved Tomato Tree Bears Big Harvests
There's room for three full-size tomato plants inside this oversized growing bag. It will yield a bounty of delicious, homegrown tomatoes at perfect picking height. Tomatoes grown in the Tomato Tree planter don’t need staking or tying, they're out of reach of most pests, and they won’t get soil-borne diseases. The powder-coated steel stand has been upgraded for greater stability and will support up to 50 pounds.

Comments about Tomato Tree:
The tomato tree is convenient and seems to grow the tomatoes well. However, the bag was completely rotten by the end of the summer (if you touched it with one finger the bag perforated). I do not see an option to purchase a replacement bag, which means if you want another season, you have to buy the whole thing over again. I will not be doing that.

Comments about Tomato Tree:
The concept is good, but the bag is inferior.I don't expect a bag to last more then one season.However, for [$] you should be able to buy a replacement bag for a reasonable price. The problem is that there are no replacement bags.

Comments about Tomato Tree:
This worked well for early tomatoes but needed lots of water and the flavor was not as good as my in ground plants. I was able to gerry rig to use 2 years - holes tore but bag material held up. I had an earlier version. I plan to use the stand for hanging pots this year. Tomatoes will go back in the real earth with wall-o-water.

Comments about Tomato Tree:
This is a great idea. I grew cucumbers as well as tomatoes. However, bags rot too quickly and I have found nowhere including Gardeners Supply to get replacements. For the price, I think replacement bags should be provided to anyone who had purchased these.

Comments about Tomato Tree:
Could not reuse bag as stated in the instructions after the first season. However, if the design of the bag would change i would definitely recommend it to friends. I am dissapointed that i cannot find the same type of bag for this upcoming tomato growing season.

Comments about Tomato Tree:
The tomato tree set up with no problem. The tomatoes and cukes grew well, but required frequent watering. The bags rotted out after only one year of use. So far, unable to locate replacement bags and if their of the same quality as the original, it will be a waste of time and money. Will try to modify a 5 gallon plastic pail to fit and see what happens.

Comments about Tomato Tree:
At insistence from my son, whose friends have these, I thought I would try it. Although late in season, we planted a cherry tomato, reg tomato, and yellow pepper. We had many tomato worms. Four months later the bag is cracking and falling apart, perhaps because of the extremely hot weather of so. calif. Reg tomatoes never fully ripened before splitting, yellow peppers are still growing, still small but turning red, cherry tomatoes are good and still growing.
