Principe Borghese Tomato

$4.50

Italian Heirloom, Grown from Organic Seed, Patio Perfect!

70 – 75 days. Determinate.  A customer favorite! Principe Borghese is an Italian heirloom famous for sun drying. Small, 1-to 2 ounce, grape-shaped fruit with pointy ends are very dry and have few seeds. They have a rich tomato taste that is wonderful for sauces. Vines yield clusters of fruit in abundance! You won’t be disappointed. While this is a determinate variety, it still grows large and will need to be staked or supported.

Determinate means that the plant will set most of its fruit within a set period of time (usually within two weeks). Harvest time is shorter as all the fruit develops and matures at approximately at the same time. This is good for those who want to process fruit, and want it all ready at the same time.

The Coeur d'Alene Coop
I'm growing a "winter" tomato this year! What's that? Ah, it's a beautiful, little paste tomato from the hillsides of Mount Vesuvious in Italy: Pianollo del Vesuvio. Pianollo translates to hanging, and that's exactly how the large clusters of fruit are stored...for months, in Italy. The fruit becomes sweeter, the longer it hangs. I love growing something new and have been intrigued by these tomatoes since seeing them packed in jars of saltwater in a deli in Rome a few years ago (still kicking myself for not buying a jar). My hopes are high this season, as I have five plants in the ground. Stocky, indeterminate plants only grow to 36 to 48 inches. I discovered another seed source and ordered three more types. If they produce, plants will be available next year for all to grow winter tomatoes!#thecoeurdalenecoop #italiantomatoes #pianollodelvesuvius #winterstoragetomatoes ... See MoreSee Less
