Number of seeds

Originating from Russian varieties adapted to short summers, the Silvery Fir Tree tomato has carved out a unique place in organic gardens thanks to its finely cut, almost feathery foliage, reminiscent of certain carrot leaves. Compact and decorative, it easily finds its place in a quiet corner of the vegetable garden, in a container on the patio, or at the heart of a diverse growing area.

In the garden, its bushy habit and consistent growth make it a reliable plant: it produces an abundance of small to medium-sized red berries early in the season. Its airy shape allows light to penetrate and promotes good plant aeration, while fitting harmoniously into a respectful and observant cultivation approach, in harmony with the rhythm of the seasons.

  • Growing climate: Warm season
  • Sowing difficulty level: Medium
  • Care required: Regular
  • Growth: Summer growth

Annotation: Early and compact variety adapted to climates with a shorter growing season; sensitive to cold like all tomatoes, to be planted outdoors only after all risk of frost.

The fruits of the Silvery Fir Tree tomato can be used like other small to medium-sized tomatoes: in fresh salads, as a sandwich filling, in simple sauces, or gently cooked in stews. Their early ripening often makes them one of the first tomatoes in the garden, much appreciated for recapturing the taste of homegrown produce in early summer.

Tomatoes are best preserved through processing: sauces, canning, purée, or freezing after cooking. They can also be dried or dehydrated in wedges for later use in cooking, always following proven preservation methods.
