Suddenly you will notice more flowers, more vines, and more fruit. You will get desperate. Friends will begin avoiding you and your, “gifts”. You will can every night and avoid the plants during the day. When you can no longer stand it you will return to find…more fruit!. They will give you no rest. You will never settle for less. They are that good. Large pear-ish\/semi oxheart-shaped, red tomatoes are ideal for both slicing and sauce as they are very meaty and contain few seeds. Incredible flavor with just the right balance of acid and sweetness. Very early and productive for such a large variety. Long and rather willowy vines with slender leafing are normal for these. We usually prune tomatoes to 2 leaders but sometimes recommend leaving 3-4 for this variety, in order to provide better leaf cover and to avoid sun-scald on the fruits.\u003cbr\u003eIndeterminate. 70-80 days.

When most people think of saucing or roasting tomatoes they think of the long slender Romas or San Marzanos from the bright sun and scorching heat of southern Italy. In the north, however, they tend to take a different shape: big, 10-16 oz pleated teardrops with meaty centers and narrow seed cavities around the margins. This type of tomato are known as \"canestrino\" and in our experience, these northern tomatoes are often better adapted to the PNW and develop superior flavor in our cool maritime growing season. Albenga was the tomato that we kept coming back to all season at the farm when it was time for a stew of white beans, kale, and roasted tomatoes, pasta e fagioli, or a just simple rustic pasta sauce. It featured heavily in many of our most memorable meals of the harvest. They are excellent sliced and eaten raw, but the variety really shines with roasting, as it brings out the savory richness of flavor. In the field, the vines are stout and vigorous with a great uniform growing habit for two leader pruning. It showed better crack and blossom end rot resistance than the other canestrino types we've grown, with a good fruit set and a fairly concentrated mid-late season harvest period. Indeterminate. \u003cbr\u003e(The term ox-heart- \"Cuor di Bue\" is a little misleading here as it is used differently in different places. Italians sometimes use it interchangeably with canestrino, while in North America it usually refers to a strawberry shaped type with an elongated, pointy blossom end.)\u003cbr\u003e85 days.
