Description
World’s earliest tomato. Growing tomatoes in short-season areas can be next to impossible. Success may be yours if you try Sub-Arctic Plenty, as it is ideal for growing and ripening well under cool conditions. Developed in Canada, it’s even been grown in the southern Yukon! Compact vines produce lots of small deep-red fruit with great tart tomato flavor. Staking is usually not necessary. Determinate. Photo courtesy of Baker Creek Heirloom Seed.
