Solanum lycopersicum
Days to Maturity: 75-85 from transplant
This Italian heirloom plum tomato is prized for its rich flavor and exceptional sauce-making qualities, and almost overly-abundant fruits on determinate bushes! Fiaschetto Tomato produces heavy clusters of small, pear-shaped red fruits with dense flesh, few seeds, and a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. A true standout for sauces, canning, roasting, and fresh summer cooking.
Planting Instructions: Start Fiaschetto Tomato seeds indoors under grow lights or in a greenhouse 6-10 weeks before last frost. Transplant 2+ weeks after last frost when soil has warmed a bit. Space plants at least 4 feet apart. Support growth with tomato cages, a trellis or wire. Water regularly but avoid overwatering (soil should be moist but not wet).
Seed Saving Instructions: When fully ripe, pick your tastiest fruits from the most vigorous plants. Cut open and squeeze Fiaschetto Tomato seeds and juice into a jar. Secure a cloth over the jar so air can enter. Ferment the juice and seeds in the jar for 2-3 days. Then strain and rinse the seeds. Dry on a screen or cloth. Store seeds in a paper or mesh bag in a cool, dark and dry location.
