Planting and Care Instructions

Start your Independence Day Tomato early indoors and have garden-fresh tomatoes by July 4th. The attractive orange-red fruits are approximately 2.5" in diameter with a sweet flavor very different from other early varieties. Perfect for salads or fresh from the garden. Garden Tip: Independence Day is an heirloom variety tomato with a leaf structure resembling a potato leaf. When the plant is small, it will not look like a regular tomato. Regular watering of 1" a week should maintain the needed moisture. Cold tolerant. Do not prune.
