I haven't grown them, but FWIW, the Best Boy shows up as being taller or having longer vines (4'-10') than the other two, which show 4-8' vines. (Search on Dave's Garden and the variety name for general information.) So it's probably a split between the Neves Azorean Red & the Christmas Grape for the smaller plant -- assuming there would be a corresponding root mass vis a vis the plant height.

Others might be able to give you more specific information about which would be better in your container.

Thanks that helps. I was leaning away from Best boy myself. Maybe I'll do Christmas Grape.

You can grow any one of the three in a container of that size. What's important are:

- making sure the soil doesn't dry out
- making sure that you feed the soil occasionly
- making sure that the plant is staked and you tie it up.
- making sure that the planter is secured or heavy enough to withstand any windload in your area.
- making sure that the plant gets at least 6 hours of full sun daily unless it's overcast.

Yeap all checked off on that list. I actually dug up a Roma plant from the ground and put that in the pot and put the Best Boy in the ground. I put the Christmas Grape in the other pot. So now I need 1 more big pot for the Red Neves Azorean Red.

Poor Roma. Was all snuggled up in the ground and I moved her. lol

I grew NAR last season, and it grew to be a pretty large plant ... I'm growing it again (cross) this season in a
5-Gallon bucket ... Its doing well so far ~

I have not grown NAR in a container, but in the ground in my garden it makes a very impressive plant, almost like a bush, very stout stems and limbs with lots of foliage and big, good tasting maters. ":^)

I think that you made a good decision, or, I have grown the little cherry tomatoes like Christmas Grape in containers with more success than the the larger varieties. Romas are not usually very big and will grow just about anywhere, I think.
