Don Camillo Tomato
Does anyone have experience growing this tomato? What size is it?
I got seeds of Don Camillo free from Double Helix a few years back. I'm going to grow it next year and have only the info from the blurb on Double Helix: "... You couldn't ask for anything more if you like strong flavored red tomatoes...." |
I don't, but I found these links. It looks like Carolyn was involved with it. It looks like someone I know from another forum might know something. It sounds like a great tomato. Large red fruit, RL, indeterminate, very meaty, flavorful, at least a little acidic, and productive. The pictures on Tatiana's definitely look very meaty.

i grew it one year.
it was big, and red, juicy with a lot of seeds. i can confirm that. it was late for me, so i haven't regrown it. i did save seeds. maybe i'll try again and set out a bigger plant. keith |
Okay, my friend on the other forum says that she grew it. It had large, strong, indeterminate vines. It was regular leaf. Moderate production. Medium large red beefsteaks. Very good-tasting. Late mid-season in her area (Kansas). She says she would grow it again (and is now considering it for 2020).
Delectation of Tomatoes sells it, and has a description! (My friend let me to know that.) See [URL]https://www.delectationoftomatoes.com/store/p801/Don_Camillo.html[/URL] |
