Very large, up to 2 lbs each. The yellow fruit has red marbling throughout the flesh and is one of the most beautiful tomatoes. The flavor is very sweet and fruity; good yields! Cut in half, it looks like the interior of a pineapple except with yellow and red marbling. It doesn’t taste like a pineapple, though, nor like a typical red tomato, either. Its unique mild low-acid fruity sweetness needs a fruit name all its own. Indeterminate, open-pollinated (80-85 days) Heirloom
Rare Roman heirloom tomato said to have been grown in former marshes in Rome, Italy. Tomatoes are deep red and scalloped with meaty interiors bursting with wonderful, rich tomato flavor.

Very delicious, bright pink fruit are shaped like a dazzling pink icicle. The flavor is very sweet and rich, being one of the best tasting pink paste types we’ve tried. Perfect for salsas and preserving, but also one of our favorites last season to eat fresh out of hand right in the garden.

Original seeds given to my family from lovely Italian friends who came from the central province of Sarnano, Region Le Marche, where they had been grown for over 80 years.

The fruit is prone to blossom-end rot, but still I wouldn’t have a garden without growing these wonderful tomatoes. Open - Pollinated, Indeterminate (90 days) Heirloom
