Description:
The Costoluto Genovese Tomato is a gorgeous Italian heirloom that's quickly become a favorite here at Pepper Joe's! This variety has been around for ages, since the 19th century, and is known for its amazing growth and flavor that pairs with a lot of meals!
These tall tomato plants stretch up to 7 ft. tall in your garden and produce high yields of these plump, 5" long tomatoes that are relatively flat and produce uncharacteristically deep ridges, unlike most tomatoes. Their shiny, gorgeous red colors truly stand out when they reach maturity, making them much more appetizing!
These 6-7 oz. tomatoes are great when making tomato paste and other sauces. Their sweet flavor tastes great fresh as well as when they're preserved. This will definitely take your next meal up a notch!
This is an indeterminate tomato variety.
