PICCODONA

The Piccadilly tomato is an Italian mid-season cluster hybrid known for its high yield and versatility. Plants of this variety reach a height of about 1.6 meters, have a wide but slender stem, and broad, spreading leaves. Fruits form clusters of 7-12 fruits, are oval-shaped with a characteristic pointed tip, and have a bright red color, making them attractive for use in fresh salads and cooking.

Piccadilly tomato fruits weigh between 30 to 50 grams, have a firm skin that breaks down well during cooking, which is especially valuable for sauces and other dishes. They are juicy, crisp, and sweet, with a meaty texture. A unique feature of this variety is the ability of the fruits to dry out and shrivel on the vine upon overripening, allowing them to be used for drying, sun-drying, and canning. Due to their density and strong attachment to the cluster, the fruits are excellent for transport and long-term storage, preserving their color and flavor.

This tomato variety is especially prized for its versatility: the fruits are suitable for fresh consumption, sauce preparation, as well as freezing and long-term storage. Its Italian origin from Sicily confirms its high quality and adaptability to various growing conditions, making Piccadilly an excellent choice for both open ground and greenhouse cultivation.
