Tomato Varieties for Cooler Climates

You are here: Home > Cooler Climate Tomatoes

These "cold climate" tomatoes are tomato varieties that are better suited to colder growing climates. Many of these tomato varieties originate from the cooler growing areas in Russia and other northern growing areas. Many of these tomato varieties can flourish within these cooler weather conditions regardless of whether they are early, mid-season or late maturing varieties, but most are early maturing tomato varieties suited for shorter growing seasons.

Remember that tomatoes need sufficient heat and light to mature into ripe, flavorful fruits. Starting tomatoes indoors and use of other season extenders (caps, row covers, etc.) may be necessary to maximize the quality and quantity of your harvest. With the use of season extenders a majority of the other tomato varieties offered by TomatoFest can grow well in cooler climates. For example, we supply many warm and hot weather varieties to our gardening friends in Canada.
