I need to know what type of tomato will grow up-side-down in a hanging bucket. I see pictures of people's tomato plants, but want to know which variety does best? I have Sweet Millions, but maybe it gets to "tall".

I think your sweet millions will be fine "upside down". In my experience they do not get nearly as large grown in a container...Remember, you cannot hang them where the wind will blow them into anything..I had a beauty on my deck and a windstorm blew the plant into my siding and broke it right off. Free standing will work out fine. Good luck!

If it's something you really like you could aways just prune off the top when it get as big as you like it.

I grow cherries in my hangers. I have done grape and sweet 100. Lesa is correct that they will not grow as large in the pot as they do in the ground,

Thanks guys. I planted them last night and they are "hanging" in the garden. I did have it next to my garden fence so I put a wire around the bucket and post so on windy days the bucket is stable. I will tie it to the fence is it get too long. I can't wait for good tomatoes!!!!
