Organic Ten Fingers of Naples Tomato
Description
HEIRLOOM San Marzano was our go-to roma-style paste tomato until we met Ten Fingers of Naples and Friends, we haven’t looked back.
We’re biased of course, since Fruition is here in Naples, New York, but her rich flavor and as well as long, luscious trusses of fruit (hence the ‘Ten Fingers’ of her name!) are impressive. Also, Organic Ten Fingers of Naples Tomato is remarkably early, though not surprising, since she was gifted to us from our dear friend Owen Bridge of Annapolis Seeds in Nova Scotia. With few seeds and delectable meat, Ten Fingers of Naples is our go-to for sauce and salsa, along with Italian Heirloom, and we look so forward to sharing such abundance with you!
At Fruition, we sow tomatoes in soil blocks indoors 2 months before final frost, early April for us here in Zone 5, germinating them on heat mats with ease. Good light is essential: Younger, less stressed seedlings are healthier and more abundant than older, more stressed seedlings.

Nice all-around paste tomato. I liked it best for salsa. Plant grew stout and sturdy.

Ten Fingers of Naples left the others in the dust! Excellent germination, and excellent production. I planted about a dozen of these and they are almost solely responsible for the 50+ half pint jars of pizza sauce. The other varieties helped a little, but cannot compare! Just love these!

These were amazing! They did so well here in my Ohio/6a growing area, produced like crazy despite me basically neglecting them most of the summer, and I have SO many jars of pizza sauce and plain tomato sauce canned for the pantry PLUS a bunch of jars of green tomato salsa that I made from the green tomatoes we pulled before our frost last week. All from just 4 plants! I can’t wait to enjoy these jars over winter while I daydream and plan next season’s plantings (which will definitely include these!)

Thank you for your feedback! Glad to hear you were able to tuck some away for the winter months.
