Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A seriously true, big ol’ tomato-y tomato appearing at the top of almost everyone’s taste tests! AND, it produces an unbelievable number of tomatoes even in our fog-bound coastal climate. A huge and vigorous, “can’t stop me” variety often bearing ribbed fruits to 5”-6” across. Named after the town my father was born in and my personal favorite!
