Description
Fantastic yields. Dense-fleshed, 2-3 oz. pear-shaped plum tomatoes grow prolifically on compact plants. Very dense and richly flavored fruits, with few seeds. Reduce watering amount as tomatoes ripen for the meatiest fruits. Resistant to blossom-end rot and early blight. Great for sauces, salsas and paste — also delicious as a slicer, not so for most Romas. Deer-resistant. Determinate. Photo courtesy of Baker Creek Heirloom Seed.
