Solanum lycopersicum
- Early 50-75gm round, red cocktail size fruit
- Sweetness with moderate acidity creates delicious complex flavour
- Determinate, compact, semi dwarf
- Great fruit set in cooler Spring temperatures
- Prolific Heirloom from Sweden
Heirloom variety from Sweden. Determinate plant with tasty, early 50-75gm round, red cocktail size fruit. Sweetness combines with moderate acidity to create a wonderfully complex flavour. Internal texture is smooth and appealing, the texture one expects from an heirloom. Great fruit set in cooler spring temperatures and very early to mature. ‘Glacier’ was the first red tomato in the open field ripening before Christmas in Southern Victoria, and it continued to bear throughout the season. Good choice for smaller gardens.

TRANSPLANT (recommended) – Start transplants 5- 6 weeks before planting date. Sow seeds 6mm deep, 4 seeds/2.5cm. Lightly cover. Keep mix at 23-28°C. Pot up into 5cm or larger cells after first set of true leaves appear. For growing transplants, maintain temperature at around 22°C during the day and 18°C at night
Harden off plants by slightly reducing temperature to 15-18°C and reducing water for 2-3 days before transplanting.
NOTE - Don't start too early—leggy, root-bound, or flowering transplants can cause stunting and reduce early production. Avoid exposing unprotected plants to consecutive nightly temperatures below 7°C.
