Profile

Palemeno

Deep red, meaty, vibrantly flavored — old-fashioned Mediterranean

Sicily in a tomato. Deep red, meaty, vibrantly flavored — the kind of tomato that was the basis of Italian cuisine before everything became standardized. The elongated, ribbed fruits grow in clusters on the vine and have a dense, flavorful flesh with few seeds.

One of the standout varieties for sauce and fresh eating both. Authentic Sicilian character.

Why This Plant Is Here

Palemeno has a specific role in this year's garden: flavor, beauty, pollinator support, story, or seasonal production.
