Nonna's Prize (VFF) Hybrid Tomato

Looks Like an Heirloom, Grows Like a Hybrid!

  (7 customer reviews)



This “hybrid heirloom” variety has the unique ribbed teardrop shape of a traditional Italian heirloom type, but it delivers so much more! You’ll enjoy higher yields of deliciously dense, meaty fruits and improved disease resistance. Plus, they won’t crack or scar like many heirlooms. Excellent rich, tangy flavor makes them ideal for sauces and fresh eating. Indeterminate. 80 DAYS.
Tomato plants are not available in ME and MT.

Seeds will be shipped within 5-10 days of your order.

Plants ship only in the spring. If our spring shipping season is closed, your order will be shipped the following spring.

Spacing: 18-24 inches between plants, 3 -5 feet between rows

Germination: 8-10 days
Days To Maturity: 80 days from transplant
Yield: 100 lbs/100 foot row

Comments: These 'hybrid heirloom' tomatoes are a treat to behold! Firmer (holds better) than traditional heirlooms with better acids and exceptional taste. Dense meaty flesh is wonderful for eating fresh as well as use in sauces and recipes. Have the unique shape & appearance of heirloom varieties but with hybrid vigor & very high yeild as well as improved disease resistance. Sloped shoulders w/some fruit having an almost teardrop shape. Deep ribbing adds to the unique appearance. Do not crack and scar like many of the heirlooms.

Just reordered seed for my spring garden. I grew 5 different varieties, searching for a productive tomato that would survive Virginia's summer draughts and this won on all counts. Hardiness and great production. What more could you want?

This is a great tomato to grow. I love it on fresh and it makes great sauce. Very meaty. I will grow this one again next season.
