| Positive | CurtisJones | On Nov 25, 2008, CurtisJones from Longmont, CO wrote: From your friends at Botanical Interests: Tomato plants are often stuck back in the vegetable garden where we hide them in steel cages. But, the pretty Silvery Fir Tree, an heirloom from Russia, is a tomato that should have a place in a container on your patio or deck in between the flowers! The bush type plants are a compact 24” tall and have silvery ferny foliage and round red fruit that dangles like Christmas ornaments. You can put it on display in an attractive container or in a hanging basket. (Though plants are short, they may require a stake if plants starts to lean over. Of course, a little leaning is desirable in a hanging basket.) The 3” – 3 ½” tomatoes have slightly tart, classic tomato flavor. A determinate type tomato, the fruit will set and ripen at the same time. | | Positive | hagarwood | On Sep 25, 2008, hagarwood from Austin, TX wrote: I transplanted into a medium pot in late April. All through the summer it sat and endured the 95 - 100 degree weather, but didn't grow. Stayed a foot tall. Mid August a spot in the garden opened up - the heat killed some plants. Low and behold it had been reborn. It grew up and out like a bush (what I was expecting). Now with the cool weather many blossoms and at least 10 tomatoes. Looks very promising. | | Neutral | berrygirl | On Mar 3, 2007, berrygirl from Braselton, GA (Zone 7b) wrote: This tom with its distinctive carrot-like foliage. | | Neutral | beachboy2 | On Feb 13, 2007, beachboy2 from Holly Ridge, NC wrote: A great plant for ornamental growing in containers. Can be used as an indoor/outdoor decorative plant and if cared for will last several months without fading. Tomato flavor, however, leaves something to be desired. It does enhance flavor when sliced on hamburgers, though. | | Positive | Suze_ | On Jan 19, 2006, Suze_ from Bastrop County, TX (Zone 8b) wrote: Sets exceedingly well in the heat, even when it's lowish to mid 90's for me. Works well in 7-10 gal containers. Smallish-med to med sized fruits, fairly crack resistant. A bit on the tart side, best taste when dead ripe. | | Negative | fwfarm | On Sep 27, 2005, fwfarm from Ashland, OR wrote: I was very disappointed by this tomato - the flavor really was bad. Not that early, and by midseason wasn't producing any more. | | Neutral | Big_Red | On Mar 28, 2005, Big_Red from Bethelridge, KY (Zone 6a) wrote: rare heirloom from Russia has lovely feathery silver foliage and produces delicious 6 oz red fruits.
