Siberian tomato

Siberian tomato is a variety of tomato. It is called "Siberian,"because it is capable of setting fruit at 38 degrees F; however, it is still not very frost hardy.[1]

Summary

In 1984, William Bonsall introduced the seed for this variety of tomato to the Seed Savers Exchange Yearbook. When the tomato was first domesticated is unknown; although, it was known to grow in Southern Mexico in 500 BC.[2] This variety grows well in most parts of North America.[2]

These tomatoes are very hardy and versatile; therefore, this type of tomato is an earlier-grown form that is best used for canning or processing.[2] They are small, bright red tomatoes, and their plants grow from six to eight feet tall.[3] They are of the heirloom variety of tomato.[4]

They cannot follow or understand instructions; they can find the best way to sabotage your efforts with the precision of an idiot savant. There is a good case for shooting thme on sight, but it is usually better to pay them to work for your competition. (Example: Toad).
gollark: So you're SCUE?
gollark: Maybe you're just lying on the test.
gollark: Anyway, you could make it into a 4x4 grid if you wanted to, or a 2x2x2x2 hypercube.
