A CHICAGO TOMATO MAN EXCLUSIVE! A whopping 2-3 pounds of flavor. Remarkably sweet and bold. Its meaty texture makes it ideal for sauces and slicing onto a burger. The seeds were brought to America from Calabria, Italy 100 years ago by Art Zaino who grew this beauty and saved the seeds year after year. His son-in-law Andy Zimmerman – one of our customers – has graciously allowed us to offer these plants to you. A true family heirloom. Late season (app. 85 days from transplant to maturity.)
