Red Siberian Bush Tomato Seed
Description
The most adaptable tomato we’ve seen. Only an heirloom tomato that came from Siberia could tolerate the fickle and sometimes cool spring temperatures that can exasperate gardeners! ‘Red Siberian’ tolerates regular summer temperatures and withstands cool temperatures (but not frost) while producing abundant fruit with rich, classic tomato flavor. Stout, short plants are great for containers. Determinate.
