I have to confess to not making a note of the type of tom. that North Pole is when I was swapped some :-[ Can anyone help me out as I'm hoping to sort out final sites for stronger looking plants over the long weekend? Cheers.
Well you have stumped me on this one. I have heard of Santa , Arctic Choice,Sub Arctic Plenty and Northern Exposure but not North Pole. The name suggests it is short season one for cooler climates,I would guess is is probably a bush,but in doubt I would err on the side of caution and treat it as such. I would love to hear the answer whn you find it please XX Jeannine
Elkebbe-could you re-phrase that please? I too have never heard of North Pole.
But no doubt T&M will offer it soon as `New and Exclusive`
North Pole-a new variety that crops well even in perma frost-the flavour is excellent but watch out for Polar Bears stealing your crop.
Sorry-couldn`t resist being silly :)
Actually I was going to say, grown exclusively by the elves for Mrs Claus world famous Christmas Chutney.
I worry about you Jeannine-you are as mad as I am ;D.
Of course this wasn't really a slip up on my part, but actually a cunning ploy to see what interest there would be in my soon to be released new tomato and to nick a few marketing ideas ;D
Back in reality though, I guess it means I've managed to misremember the name as well as forget the type ::) - explains why I couldn't find anything on google. Maybe this will finally teach me to be organi ..... nah! ;D ;D
Well, I'll look up Northern Exposure Jeannine, and I think I noticed a Northern Lights while I was googling earlier - see what they say, and then treat it as a bush (which is what I was hoping it was anyway!)
Love the notion of a tomato named Santa btw - there should be one named 'Rudolph's Nose' too :)
Don't get mixed up with Southern Nights!!
No probs-but `Santa` exists-a very nice small plum
If you find out let me know because I picked up a few as well!
;D
Yep - Jeannine mentioned it above - I just feel it needs a companion :)
Saddad - some 'North Poles'? Maybe not just me having a senior moment then? ;D
Ellkebe, a thought has just struck me. There was a series of tomatoes bred in Alaska that were called the Polar series, I don't know how many there was in the series but a bit of googling might turn it up. I know of 4 and have seeds for the first 3.
Polar Baby,Polar Beauty, Polar Star, Polar Gem.
Could this be what you are looking for. They are early producing determinates.

Cheers Jeannine - will google them later and see what comes up.
This thread is what it`s all about for me-a mix of humour and advice.
...and the fact that you can call someone nuts and get away with it. XXX Jeannine
Ellkebe did you ever get an answer re these Toms, I ask because I have just received some.XX Jeannine
