Ciliegia - a flawless cherry tomato?
I bought a packet of cherry tomato seeds past winter in Italy while my DW was buying clothes. On the packet it says only Pomodoro ciliegia - cherry tomato.
It turned to be the best and most prolific cherry tomato I ever grew. Plant is now 2.5m/8.2ft high and is loaded with fruits. Fruits are the same size and shape as Sun Sugar. Taste is excellent, sweet with real tomato flavor. No cracking, no dropping ripe fruits, no thick skin, seems to be quite heat and disease resistant. Perhaps the only drawback is lack of name. |
