There are no frost-resistant varieties of tomato. Tomato is a southern heat-loving plant. His homeland is Central and South America. For 200 years of growing it in culture, none of the breeders has been able to get really frost-resistant varieties. There are relatively cold-resistant varieties. Tomato dies after a long stay at a temperature of +10 degrees. At -1 degrees Celsius, the tomato dies within a few hours. And cold-resistant varieties can stay at a temperature of + 10-12 degrees for up to 7-10 days without irreversible consequences and death for themselves.
