Organic Ten Fingers of Naples Tomato
Semi-Determinate
75 days to harvest
Lycopersicon lycopersicum
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 resistance to Late Blight 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!

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!
