Lime Green Salad Tomato

Solanum lycopersicum

Price: $2.95

SKU: 3401671

85 days, dwarf - The rugose, regular leaf plants of 'Lime Green Salad' are compact and productive. The fruit are two to five celled, very flavorful, weigh between two to six ounces, globe-shaped, and green in color. The flesh, as its name implies, is lime green, very juicy, mild, sweet, with a slightly tart aftertaste.

We received this variety from author and tomato authority Craig LeHoullier. It was originally bred by Tom Wagner and introduced commercially by Peters' Seed Research in the mid-1980s. Although Mr. Wagner had reportedly named the variety 'Green Elf', it was renamed 'Lime Green Salad' (presumably by Peters' ?) when it was released.

Special Groups: "Epic" Tomatoes
Harvest Timing: Main Crop / Mid-Season
Sow seeds indoors (do not direct sow into the garden), using sterile seed starting mix, 6 to 8 weeks before your last expected frost date. Plant 1/4" deep, water lightly but keep moist until emergence.

Full light and cooler temps (60° to 70°) will help to prevent the seedlings from becoming too leggy. If plants become rootbound before you can safely set them into the ground, transplant them into larger pots.

Harden off plants before planting outside. Young plants are very susceptible to frost and sunburn damage. Avoid too much nitrogen. Water evenly but not in excess.
