This is one of the best paste tomatoes we know, primarily because it makes sauce so good and sweet that you wouldnt even have to add avoring to it. Tomatoes are large, at least 5 inches long, and shaped like a banana pepper with a pronounced tip on the bottom. Plants have wispy-type foliage, but are vigorous and very productive. The fruit has very few seeds and is extremely meaty with a rich, sweet avor. Although they make outstanding sauce, these tomatoes are good enough to eat fresh. Polish Heirloom.
