Traditional "winter tomato" from Italy. No more tasteless, soulless grocery store tomatoes in winter. Bring fruit or whole trellis inside when tomatoes show a little colour and they will ripen over several months. Small to medium-sized fruit have pointed ends and good balanced classic tomato flavour. Indeterminate. Can be started a bit later than other tomatoes because you're not in a rush to produce fully ripe fruit.

Growing: Transplant. If you can provide enough heat and light, tomatoes can be started up to 8 weeks before intended transplant date. Sow seeds into individual pots or cells 1/2" deep, or start larger amounts in flats. Use bottom heat for germination. Move seedlings into larger pots once roots are peeking out the bottom. Transplant 1-3' apart, once nighttime low temperatures are at least 10° C — ideally higher. Harden off before putting out.

Growing tips: This tomato produces long trellises of fruit, which should be kept off the ground. Remove flowers until the plants are 2' tall. Keep upright using tomato cages or trellis using twine. Prune to single or double-headed leader. 

Dry growing (growing without watering or minimal watering): This is a traditionally dry-grown variety. There are a variety of techniques used to grow tomatoes with reduced or no irrigation. First, some professional growers believe that transplanting tomatoes at a younger age (smaller size) ensures they keep growing vigorously after transplant. This has been my experience, and I prefer to transplant once the plants have two small true leaves, smaller than most people transplant. I want the tomato's root system to spread as wide as possible; plants confined to a small pot have their root spread curtailed, in my opinion. Tomato transplants can also be planted deeply; they form additional roots along the stem. Space plants more widely if dry growing. Note that blossom end rot is more common in dry-grown tomatoes. If you are unfamiliar with blossom end rot, learn to identify it and remove tomatoes exhibiting it; they won't mature.
