Originating in Sweden, the Glacier tomato embodies Nordic resilience. It has been bred to thrive in short, cool summers and tolerates both cool nights and unpredictable weather. From the very beginning of the season, its dense, potato-like foliage bursts into life with small clusters of orange-red fruit. Its compact shape and semi-determinate growth make it well-suited to both container gardening and planting in the ground.

Just 55 days after sowing, the first fruits are ready, bringing earliness and abundance to a thriving garden. It continues to produce even as the weather cools, offering remarkable consistency in cooler climates or at higher altitudes. Its reliable and hardy nature makes it a valuable addition to a diverse growing area.

  • Growing climate: Cool season
  • Sowing difficulty level: Easy
  • Care required: Regular
  • Growth: Summer growth

Annotation: Variety selected for its good tolerance to relative cold and its earliness, well adapted to regions with short summers.

The Glacier tomato is distinguished by its delicate, sweet flesh. Its small, round fruits, weighing 60 to 100 g, are perfect for snacking in the garden or adding to summer salads. Their subtle texture and balanced flavor make it an ideal variety for light coulis, quick sauces, or simple everyday dishes.

Its early ripening also makes it a favorite among gardeners who want to extend the harvest season into early and late summer, while enjoying a flavorful tomato as soon as the first real sunshine appears. It evokes those precious harvests, well before the peak season.
