POMODORO SQUISITO

80-85 days. A true fingertip-kissing sauce tomato! This San Marzano hybrid produces heaps of luscious fruit for all your sauce, ketchup and soup needs. Vigorous, indeterminate plants set heavy clusters of 6-8, elongated deep red fruit with thick meat, a minimal seed cavity and well-developed flavor. We especially love Pomodoro Squisito’s resistance to blossom-end rot for a San Marzano type. HR: F 0-1, ToMV, V. IR: TYLCV.

A fine cultivar

This one was our trial for 2024, and it performed very well -- good germination, a strong and vigorous vine, and a fine crop of interesting tomatoes, a bit wetter than our go-to, San Marzano. They were attacked by gophers but their vigor kept them plugging along regardless. We had a little blossom-end rot but only on isolated fruits. We'll definitely be trying it out again next season.

A good tomato in the rare instance one would make it...

Unfortunately these didn't live up to the description of BER resistance and overall productivity. The plants grew just as well as everything else, but the fruits were few and far between, usually on the very small end, and I probably had to throw out well over half of those due to BER. Across 3 plants I maybe got 15 usable fruits all year, so I'll try a different San Marzano variety next time. The usable fruits I did get were quite good, just didn't have the output I was hoping for. Northeast 7a/7b.

Beautiful

Plants were pretty sad looking when they arrived but once planted, they are the biggest, strongest most beautiful plants of the 15 we have. Lots of tomatoes on. They aren’t ripe yet so will have to wait to test flavour and texture. Would definitely buy again.

A new favorite

Extremely consistent across the 15 plants I grew. A truss every 12 inches with reliable fruit setting and 6 to 8 fruit every truss as advertised. Exceptionally reliable fruit setting in 95-100F dry Colorado heat. The trusses are too heavy to support themselves and I would recommend using J-hooks or other support as each truss fills in. You must have a strong support structure to handle these plants. Excellent paste tomato flavor and meaty interior. I've had BER on 4 fruit out of 15 plants. Not fully eliminated, but superior to other San Marzano types I've grown and worth it given the high production of these plants.

Days to maturity are calculated from date of transplant.

Culture
• Determinate tomatoes: grow compactly, sprawling laterally, usually do not require staking, and fruit ripens over a short period of time
• Indeterminate tomatoes: grow on long vines, generally require pruning to 1 or 2 leaders that need to be trellised
• Fertile, well-drained raised beds covered with plastic mulch promote early growth and better yields
• Tomatoes are high feeders and will benefit from regular fertilization with Age Old Bloom
• To prevent blossom end rot use a high calcium amendment
• Overwatering can cause fruit to crack

Direct Sowing
• Not recommended

Transplanting
• Sow seeds in trays 6-8 weeks before anticipated transplant date; up-pot into 3-4 inch pots when the first set of true leaves appears
• Strong light and cooler temperatures (60-70°F) prevent plants from getting leggy
• Fertilize with Age Old Grow every 10-14 days
• When transplanting work in compost, 1/2 cup of TSC's Complete fertilizer, and handful of bone meal
• Determinates can be spaced 18-24 inches apart, indeterminates 24-36 inches apart
• Tomatoes can be buried up to the top 2 sets of leaves
• Use Kozy-Coats or Victorian Bell Cloches to protect young plants

Insects & Diseases
• Common insects: Flea beetles and tomato hornworms
• Insect control: Pyrethrin or row cover for flea beetles, and Monterey B.t. for tomato hornworms
• Common diseases: Early and late blight
• Disease prevention: A strict 3-4 year rotation, remove vines at the end of the year, fungicide

Harvest & Storage
• Harvest when fully ripe, do not refrigerate for best flavor
• Green fruit should be ripened in a cool, dark area; make sure fruit are not touching
