About this item:
The Sub Arctic Plenty Tomato, originating from Alberta, Canada, excels in cooler climates with a short growing season. It is one of the earliest maturing tomatoes, capable of producing a bounty of flavorful 2 – 2 1/2 oz red fruits in just 55 to 60 days. This determinate, open-pollinated heirloom variety is perfect for container gardening or maximizing yield in small spaces due to its compact nature and no need for staking. The plants are prolific, potentially producing hundreds of juicy tomatoes with a balance of sweetness and tartness.
Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, an antioxidant, and feature high levels of vitamins A, B, and C among other nutrients. They can be enjoyed fresh, added to salads, or used in various culinary preparations such as salsa, sandwiches, or cooked dishes. Tomatoes are essential for making ketchup or pasta sauce. Storing methods include freezing, canning, or drying.
Tomato plants are categorized as either determinate or indeterminate. Determinate tomato plants produce fruit that matures at nearly the same time, while indeterminate varieties continue to grow and yield fruit until frost. There are over 7,500 different tomato varieties available, showcasing a wide range of sizes and colors.
