Miss Fall Tomato: Contestant #3
Miss "Silvery Fir Tree"
This rare Russian heirloom has very unusual foliage which makes it a great choice for a decorative planter. The leaves are lacy, almost fernlike, delicate, and silvery. Unlike most tomatoes it grows well in overcast coastal areas ... however seems a wee bit fragile, temperature-wise, for the San Fernando Valley.
The internet debate rages on about yummiosity:
Geezer: Judging by just the first taste, it better improve or it is gone.
Dukerdawg: I love it! It is cranking out the tomatoes...And to me it has a great taste.
IMISSCOLO: Only tomato I know that really enjoys a hanging pot. Cranked out good tomatoes EARLY! Sharp tomato taste!
Earl from Ohio: Some love SFT, some think yuck. One has to grow it to find out which camp you're in.
Only YOU can decide. Is this SFT for the SFV?
