Tomatoes are easy to root so if something goes wrong or you want a back-up, snip off a sucker or little stem and put it in some vermiculite or a glass of water (some people just stick them in the dirt).

The Black Cherry tomatoes I put in the ground May 15th are over 12 feet tall but one I neglected and left in a 7" pot (without water for days on end and without much sun) set a dozen or so tomatoes.

For fun, there are a few tomatoes which don't need much of a pot. Below are "Micro-Toms" planted last January in 4" pots. Did fine. About a dozen tomatoes on each plant. Taste isn't anything great but not bad. Another good one is Orange Pixie. It does fine in a 7" pot.
