Tomato Bush Silvery Fir Tree Organic Heirloom Seed

Lycopersicon lycopersicum

Item #3104

58 days from transplanting. Determinate.
“Silvery Fir Tree” is an unusual name for a tomato, but appropriate for this compact Russian heirloom with lovely, ferny leaves. This 24" beauty shouldn’t be hidden in the back of the garden! Put it on display in a pretty container or large hanging basket, on a sunny patio or front porch. Fruits have slightly tart, classic tomato flavor. As a determinate type, the majority of the fruit ripens over a 1 - 2 week period. In areas with a long growing season, a second successive planting will double your harvest!

This packet plants approximately 24 plants when started indoors.

Days to Emerge: 5-10 days

Seed Depth: 1/8”

Seed Spacing: A group of 3 seeds every 24”

Row Spacing: 3’

Thinning: When 2” tall thin to 1 every 24”

When to sow outside: Recommended for mild winter climates only: 1 to 2 weeks before average last frost and when soil temperatures are at least 60° F.

When to start inside: RECOMMENDED. 6 to 8 weeks before average last frost.

Harvesting: Harvest tomatoes when fully colored and firm. About 1 month before the average first fall frost, clip all blossoms and any undersized fruit off the plant. This will steer all the plant’s remaining energy into ripening what’s left. If you have a lot of underripe tomatoes near the end of the season, and a frost is approaching, pick them and store them indoors in a single layer away from direct sunlight to ripen.
