Piccadilly-type Pixel tomato is a productive, vigorous variety whose red, elongated fruit resembles the datterino, with sweet, firm flesh.
It belongs to the species Solanum lycopersicum, family Solanaceae. An indeterminate, moderately vigorous, highly productive plant.
Sow in a heated seedbed between February and March; transplant between April and May.
It needs sturdy staking and should be planted as deep as possible to encourage rooting; it is sensitive to water stress, so water when the soil is dry.
The round fruits, slightly elongated at the ends and averaging about 30 grams, are harvested at full red ripeness or when turning yellow for salads.
Like other datterino-type varieties it can suffer from blossom-end rot under water imbalance; regular copper sulphate treatment helps after heavy rain.
Thanks to its firm, meaty flesh and sweet flavour, it is perfect both fresh and for sauces.
Rich in lycopene, vitamin C and potassium, Pixel tomato has antioxidant properties beneficial to overall wellbeing.
