These are interesting compact ones .....
they are usually larger than mini dwarfs ...yet can be productively grown in 3-4 gallon containers .
(not 5 gallons ..sub 5 gallons). (but larger than mini-dwarfs )
So .
My favourites in this category grown for this year .
1) Yaponskiy Karlik
2) Buddai Torpe
3) Fuzzy Wuzzy
of course there are many others to mention ...

I still don't have a favorite container tomato, unless maybe Sub Arctic Plenty (which I haven't tried in that container size, but I suspect it could do well). Husky Cherry Red should do quite well in a 4-gallon container.
However, I know a couple tomatillo varieties that thrive in containers. I had two plants in each of the two containers (which were 4 or 5 gallon; so, I imagine one plant per 3 or 4 gallons should do well, too). One is an unknown kind with slightly purple skin (the parents was just green); it can get large fruit. The other is called Yellow (from Trade Winds Fruit), although I may or may not have gotten a fluke plant that did better than most Yellow there.

Sub arctic plenty did ok in tall 3gallons and so did husky cherry red ...many moon ago.
I also grew Siberia in 3 gallon (rugose leaf dwarf ..about 18-20 inches etc.)
