Their shape resembles that of small bananas, and according to our description, they can be about 10 cm long. Their fleshy interior and mild flavor offer plenty of possibilities in the kitchen.
They’re worth trying roasted, dried, or as the base for a light sauce. Sliced lengthwise, they look interesting on a sandwich or in a salad, especially next to dark plum tomatoes. This is a good choice for gardeners who want to use their harvest for more than just everyday fresh eating.
This is a determinate variety with a more compact growth habit than tall tomatoes that are staked throughout the season. It’s a good idea to provide support to bear the weight of the fruit. It originates from American breeding efforts focused on tomatoes with elongated fruit. It ripens mid-season, approximately 74 days after planting the seedlings. For a comparison of two tomato colors suitable for drying, consider adding “Black Plum.”
