62 days to harvest from transplant Solanum lycopersicum

If you’re looking for a red tomato to grow in a container, meet Iditarod Red. Just 3.5 feet tall and loaded with delectable red 4 to 5-ounce slicers, Organic Iditarod Red Dwarf Tomato is remarkably early, making her perfect for your short seasons as well as your patio.

At Fruition, we sow tomatoes in soil blocks indoors 2 months before final frost, early April for us here in Zone 5, germinating them on heat mats with ease. Good light is essential: Younger, less stressed seedlings are healthier and more abundant than older, more stressed seedlings.

All Fruition’s dwarf tomatoes will grow in 5-gallon containers, though they’ll truly thrive in 10-gallon containers or larger. We share our go-to containers for gardening as well as organic slow-release fertilizer making container gardening easier and more abundant. For all dwarf tomatoes, though trellising is optional, a little goes a long way in helping fruit ripen quickly and easily harvested.
