Nina Neutron

Nina Neutron is an ultra-compact micro dwarf bred by Dean Slater (USA) that delivers true tomato flavor on a plant scarcely taller than a coffee mug. Plants average about 15 cm (6 inches) in height and set small clusters of bright red cherries that ripen quickly under good light. Despite the tiny frame, it’s a steady producer when grown in a light, free‑draining mix with even moisture and regular, dilute feeding. Fruits are juicy with a mild, sweet balance and make a fun, ornamental choice for windowsills, balconies, and indoor grow shelves. Give it a 1–2 gallon container for best yields and keep harvesting to encourage continuous bloom through the season. Fruits shine in both fresh salads and slow‑simmered sauces where their natural balance comes forward. Plants respond well to consistent moisture and mulching, which helps reduce blossom‑end stress and keeps fruit quality high. Give sturdy support and prune lightly to maintain airflow and make harvest easier as clusters build.
