Oak Summit Nursery choices

Short season tomatoes by habit and use

Start with your growing space and how you want to use the fruit. Plant habit matters as much as colour when the season is short.

Fast choices

Determinate and dwarf

Compact plants and a concentrated crop

These suit containers, smaller gardens, and growers who prefer less trellising. Dwarf can describe a short sturdy plant even when it keeps growing through the season, so read the product habit.

Indeterminate

Long vines and continued harvest

These need support and keep setting fruit until frost. They suit gardeners who want repeated fresh harvests and can provide a cage or trellis.
