Organic Italian Heirloom Tomato
HEIRLOOM
Friends, if we could only grow one paste tomato this is it, without question. Italian Heirloom produces simply incredible amounts of massive 12- to 20-ounce red fruits. Its flavor is the perfect balance of acid and sweet, its texture thick and meaty with very few seeds. We love Italian Heirloom for sandwiches and salsa as well as sauce and so appreciate its tolerance of many diseases, including Late Blight. Enjoy our video below!
We had plants producing into early October 2015 in the field here in the Finger Lakes...
...many thanks to our friends at Uprising Seeds for sharing this gem with us.
