Description
Solanum lycopersicum ‘Silvery Fir Tree’ is a distinctive heirloom tomato variety recognized for its finely cut, silvery-green foliage that gives the plant an ornamental, fern-like appearance. The plants are determinate and compact, typically reaching 60 to 90 cm in height, making them well suited for containers and small garden spaces. Fruits are medium-sized, round to slightly flattened, bright red, and offer a mild, well-balanced tomato flavor suitable for fresh eating, salads, and light cooking.
This variety prefers full sun and fertile, well-drained soil with regular watering. Its compact growth habit, early maturity, and attractive foliage make it popular among gardeners seeking both productivity and visual interest.
Sow seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last expected frost date. Transplant outdoors after all risk of frost has passed and soil temperatures reach at least 15°C to 16°C. In regions with short growing seasons, late spring planting ensures optimal development and reliable harvests.
