Siberian tomato

Siberian tomato is a variety of tomato. It is called "Siberian,"because it is capable of setting fruit at 38 degrees F; however, it is still not very frost hardy.[1]

Summary

In 1984, William Bonsall introduced the seed for this variety of tomato to the Seed Savers Exchange Yearbook. When the tomato was first domesticated is unknown; although, it was known to grow in Southern Mexico in 500 BC.[2] This variety grows well in most parts of North America.[2]

These tomatoes are very hardy and versatile; therefore, this type of tomato is an earlier-grown form that is best used for canning or processing.[2] They are small, bright red tomatoes, and their plants grow from six to eight feet tall.[3] They are of the heirloom variety of tomato.[4]
