Rosso Sicilian Tomato
Growing Rosso Sicilian Tomato
‘Rosso Sicilian’ is a traditional Italian heirloom tomato prized for its deeply ribbed, pumpkin-like shape and old-world flavor. Deep red fruits average about 6 to 10 ounces and contain thick walls, meaty flesh, and relatively few seeds.
Start ‘Rosso Sicilian’ indoors for transplanting. Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep, space plants 24 to 36 inches apart, and grow in full sun. This heat-tolerant variety performs especially well through warm summer weather.
Ready to harvest in about 80 days, pick fruits once they reach full size and deep red maturity.
Rich, meaty, and versatile, ‘Rosso Sicilian’ is excellent for sauces, roasting, stuffing, and everyday cooking.
