Tomato Plum Determinate Principe Borghese is a classic Italian heirloom celebrated for its distinctive plum-shaped fruits, which grow in attractive, compact clusters. This variety’s dense, meaty flesh contains few seeds and minimal juice, making it exceptionally suited for rich, flavorful sauces and traditional sun-drying methods. Its determinate growth habit produces sturdy vines that benefit from support, and the fruits mature in about 80 days. Particularly prized in dry climates for producing leathery dried tomatoes with intense flavor, Principe Borghese is a favorite among gardeners and culinary enthusiasts seeking authentic taste, texture, and reliable performance from a true heirloom variety. These plum-type tomatoes deliver concentrated flavor and dense flesh ideal for fresh eating, cooking, and preservation projects. The determinate growth habit produces a concentrated harvest over a defined period, making these plants particularly suited for gardeners planning canning or sauce-making operations where synchronized ripening offers practical advantages. Originating from Italian heirloom stock, Principe Borghese carries centuries of culinary tradition and proven performance in home gardens across diverse climates. The compact, bushy plants reach 3–4 feet tall and require minimal support compared to indeterminate varieties, making them practical for container growing, small spaces, and intensive plantings. The firm, meaty fruits average 2–3 ounces and develop rich sweetness as they mature, with balanced acidity that enhances both fresh and cooked applications. The determinate growth pattern means plants flower and fruit prolifically over 4–6 weeks, then decline as temperatures rise—ideal timing for early-season harvests before summer heat stress affects fruit quality. This concentrated productivity allows efficient harvesting and processing, reducing labor spread across the entire season. Non-GMO seeds promote sustainable cultivation practices and preserve authentic heirloom genetics for future generations. Packaged in environmentally friendly, reusable, and recyclable materials, these seeds demonstrate dedication to both gardening excellence and ecological responsibility. Each packet contains 25 carefully selected seeds with strong germination rates. Ready to harvest in approximately 75–80 days from transplant, Principe Borghese delivers the authentic flavor and reliable yields that serious gardeners and food preservers expect from premium heirloom tomato varieties.
