About Piennolo Rosso
80–85 days. Storage tomato from Naples meant to be harvested when 70% of the fruits are ripe. Cut the whole truss and hang together in bunches tied with string in a cool, dark, dry, frost- and pest-free area. They will continue to ripen and last up to six months. Flavor may be bland when right off the vine; it develops a rich, sweet flavor in storage. The small oval fruits have a low water content and an especially thick skin.
About Tomato, Heirloom
These varieties have been cultivated around the world for decades or centuries. Heirloom tomatoes tend to be indeterminate (vining, ripening over time) and generally require support unless noted as determinate (bushier, ripening all at one time—good for canning and freezing). All are open-pollinated, meaning you can save seed from year to year. See also Tomato, Other.
