    I've never grown bush varieties other than in hanging baskets.
    I used to use 22L pots for cordon toms outside and the pots were well filled with roots by the end of the season. Bush varieties I imagine, would need even more root space.

    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

    If you want a red cherry type tomato which is a bush/determinate type, then two of the best varieties are called Red Alert, and Maskotka.
    If you do an online search, seeds for both of them should be fairly easy to find.
