When to Grow

Start seeds indoors 6-10 weeks before the last frost. Transplant outside when the soil has warmed and all danger of frost has passed. Green Tiger tomatoes will mature in approximately 70 days from transplanting, when grown under ideal conditions​. If you’re not sure how to find your first and last frost dates, consult our blog post "Our Experts Answer Questions, Share Resources."

How to Sow and Plant

Sow seeds 1/8 inch deep in warm, moist soil with a temperature of at least 70 F for optimal germination. Once transplanted outdoors, space plants about 24 inches apart to make sure they receive good airflow and reduce the risk of disease.

How to Grow

Water these tomatoes consistently, and apply a balanced fertilizer every 2-3 weeks. Pruning the lower leaves and removing suckers will improve air circulation and focus the plant’s energy on fruit production. Green Tiger tomatoes grow quite tall, so support is necessary​ as well.

How to Save Seeds

  • Most tomatoes are self-pollinating and don't frequently cross; in a garden setting, separating by 25 feet should prevent 99% of cross-pollination. Or you can bag and hand pollinate for 100% purity.
  • On a small scale, seeds may be scooped from the fruits and dried on a paper towel.
  • For larger quantities or cleaner seeds, fermentation for a few days is recommended.
  • Once dry, tomato seed can be stored in a cool, dry, dark place; good seed retains viability for 5 years or more.
