Principe Borghese Heirloom tomato seeds

Principe Borghese  tomato is one of the classic hanging tomatoes or a drying tomato “pomodori secchi” A classic tomato from Southern Italy, some say it dates to the turn of the century and others say it is older, either way, it’s totally worth checking out. One of the best tomatoes for drying, we use a dehydrator since we are so humid here in the Mid-Atlantic. We store them dried and in olive oil, the olive takes on the beautiful rich flavor of the tomatoes. Fruit hangs on trusses clustered in groups of 8 - 10 and is very productive. The plants are determinate and don’t grow much larger than five feet tall.
