Tomato Red Fig Seeds
$3.90
Unit price perSolanum lycopersicum
Red Fig is a prolific heirloom tomato producing small, round red fruits to approximately 40 mm across. The fruits have a delicious, sweet tomato flavour and are produced in remarkable abundance, with vigorous plants capable of yielding hundreds of fruits over the season.
The small fruits are excellent fresh in salads and are also particularly suited to chutneys, preserves and drying. Traditionally, the dried fruits were used as a substitute for dried figs, which gave the variety its unusual name.
Known in the USA since the 1700s, Red Fig is an exceptionally old tomato variety with a long history in American kitchen gardens. Plants are vigorous and indeterminate, continuing to flower and fruit over an extended season and benefiting from sturdy staking or trellising.
Seed count: approximately 250–400 seeds per gram. Approximately 40 seeds per packet.
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: February–August
Subtropics: August–April
Mild climates: August–December

Planting / Sowing
Sow approximately 5 mm deep into seed-raising mix or directly where conditions are warm. In cooler climates, seed can be started indoors approximately five weeks before transplanting after the last frost. Best soil temperature for germination is approximately 16–35°C.
Space plants approximately 40–60 cm apart with 60–150 cm between rows. Grow in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil and provide sturdy staking or trellising for the vigorous climbing vines. Water at soil level where possible and avoid waterlogged conditions.
