Growing Tips

Green Tiger tomatoes grow best in full sun and nutrient-rich, deep soil. Mulching around the plants can help retain moisture and prevent weeds. In cooler climates, using a heat mat helps to warm the soil and speed up germination.  Learn More >>

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​.

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

  • Most tomatoes are self-pollinating and crossing isn’t likely; separating by 25 feet is sufficient for pure seed, except for the potato-leaf varieties like Brandywine.
  • 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 1-2 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.

Are Green Tiger tomatoes good for container gardening?
While they can be grown in large containers, their indeterminate nature requires strong support and ample space to produce abundantly​.
