| I have a nice silver fir tree tomato plant in container that almost done fruiting. I got a good crop of tomatoes from it.
Is it possible to keep this plant alive during winter? What conditions should it be in if yes? thanks |

| Not likely. If you try, treat it like a house plant that requires a lot of light. Watch out for white flies and mites if you bring it inside. |

| But how to make determine tomato to flower again? Do i need to trim it before bringing inside? dazmom, what is q-tip? I don't think my plant will get a lot of sun in NW winter, even next to french door on west side, but maybe i'll get something in Feb-March. |
