Polar Beauty Tomato, Heirloom Seeds

Polar Beauty Tomato, Heirloom Seeds — The Fairbanks, Alaska Heirloom That Sets Fruit at 40°F

Polar Beauty (Lycopersicon lycopersicum) was crafted by plant breeder John Holm in Fairbanks, Alaska — a cold-tolerant, open-pollinated determinate variety that sets blossoms early and yields large, solid, meaty, bright red, flavorful fruits even when temperatures are in the 40s. Plants grow 24–36 inches tall, making them excellent for container gardening in cooler climates. Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the final frost.
