Has anyone grown it in the Houston area? I would love to use it in a front bed where it can get as big as it likes, but I don't want to introduce an invasive! I would feel awful if I spotted volunteers in our nearby woods- we have plenty of bamboo, ivy, and mimosas already.

I could also put it in a pot, but I'm not sure if that makes a difference. Am I worrying over nothing?

Johnny's introduced it and went out of the way to ID it as an S. lycopersicon var cerasiforme, which means it's a half domesticated cherry tomato and not a currant variety.

It will grow as any other indeterminate variety grows, so not to worry.

Actually I don't know of ANY tomato variety that's invasive. For sure some are described as being rampant, with long vines, but they stay where planted.

THe only way you'd get plants in the woods is if you or any critters throw/carry some fruits into the woods and the seeds in the fruits go dormant when it's cold and then can pop up when the temps are OK for seed germination when the weather warms in the Spring.
