A Big List of Short-Season Tomatoes That Grow In Cold Climates

Think you can’t grow tomatoes because you have a short season or live in a cold climate? Good news: It’s entirely possible to grow tomatoes and pick your first ripe fruit in as little as 40 days!

Here are 83 short-season tomato varieties that won’t make you wait around all summer AND don’t mind a bit of chilly weather.

What is the fastest-growing tomato?

That honor is a tie between Quedlinburger Frühe Liebe (an indeterminate type that matures in 40 days) and Sub-Arctic Plenty (sometimes marketed as Chilly Willie, a determinate type that matures in 42 days).

What is the most cold-tolerant tomato?

Of all the tomato types, Coldset is a prolific producer with superior cold tolerance. It germinates in lower temperatures than normal, can be directly seeded into a cool garden, and will grow as long as the soil temperature is at least 65°F.
