Additional Information
Open pollinated-untreated seeds. One of the most remarkable ornamental tomatoes we have grown. The distinctive ferny foliage is finely dissected almost like carrot foliage. The plants are small, growing to around 45-61 cm (18-24”) tall. The Silvery Fir Tree tomato plant is an early producer that is quite bushy and bountiful. Producing abundant oblate orange red fruits that measure about 5-7 cm (2-3”) across. It is a perfect selection for containers or a small garden. Harvest fruit when they are the desired size, color and firmness. In general, perfectly ripe tomatoes show deep color but still feel firm when gently squeezed. Tomatoes do continue to ripen after being picked. Gently grab and twist until the tomato pulls free from the stem, or use a pair of clippers. Cut stems close to fruits. Always store picked tomatoes at room temperature indoors, or in a shady place outside. Never refrigerate tomatoes, because temperatures below 12.8° C (55° F) cause flavor compounds to break down. |
