Overview
Totem is a dwarf hybrid tomato that stays between 10 and 30 inches tall, with dark green foliage and no need for staking. The fruit is small to medium, round and red, and the plant is determinate, so the crop comes in a fairly short window. It is best suited to pots, window boxes, and balcony gardens where a full-size tomato would not fit.
