Large indeterminate vines produce elongated fruit. The fruit grow to about 4" long and 2" in diameter and are borne in clusters. Holds well on vine or in storage, crack resistant, excellent for paste, puree, or canning. Processor favorite due to high solids; the standard Italian pear tomato, aka the Italian Canner.

Spacing: Plant in rows, spacing plants 24" apart
Exposure: Full sun; with good air circulation
Fertilize: Feed regularly throughout the growing season with a well balanced fertilizer (one specifically formulated for tomatoes is best); avoid excessive nitrogen
