Indeterminate

Until you've tastedPomodoro Principe Borghese, you haven't really eaten a homegrown cherry tomato. That's because this variety is thin-skinned, unlike those leathery supermarket cherries, and it's just bursting with rich, meaty, sugary, juicy flavor. All the complex notes of a beefsteak are contained in every small round fruit.

Just one ounce on average, this fruit is round and bright red. It arises by the many, many dozen over a long season on vigorous indeterminate plants. The flavor is irresistible, the look is charming?you will find yourself making excuses to go out to the garden and sneak a handful of these for healthy between-meal snacking.

Great disease resistance is the secret toPomodoro Principe Borghese's yields?you just get more fruit on every stem, and the harvest season lasts all summer. This tough plant stands up to leaf mold, Fusarium wilt, fusarium crown and root rot, tomato mosaic virus, and gray leaf spot. You just can't beat that.

Start seeds indoors 5 to 6 weeks, plant outdoors after and set plants 2 to 2? feet apart.
