Overview
Glacier is an open-pollinated bush tomato from Sweden that will set fruit in cooler weather than most tomatoes, which is why it delivers some of the first ripe tomatoes of the summer and keeps going into fall. Plants are determinate and compact, about 30 inches, tidy enough for containers, though a small cage helps. Fruit is red with yellow shoulders, about 2 inches across, and flavorful for an early type. Sow indoors roughly 4 to 6 weeks ahead of your last frost, harden off, and set out after frost; pick as the fruit colors to keep the plants producing.
