Crispino Plump Nero tomato is a medium-sized dark round variety, prized for its rich flavour and good post-harvest keeping quality.
It belongs to the species Solanum lycopersicum, family Solanaceae. A vigorous indeterminate plant, with productive trusses of round fruit.
Sow in a heated seedbed between February and March; transplant in April-May, once frost risk has passed.
Requires staking and regular side-shoot removal; sunny exposure favours the development of its typical dark colouring.
The medium-sized round fruits turn a dark violet-brown at full ripeness; harvest once fully coloured.
Benefits from good canopy ventilation to prevent fungal diseases typical of indeterminate varieties.
A versatile table variety, excellent raw in salads and appreciated for its intense flavour compared with classic red varieties.
Rich in anthocyanins and lycopene responsible for its dark colouring, it has remarkable antioxidant properties.
