Classic, blemish free, red fruits on vigorous plants which produce loads of tomatoes - you'll only need a couple of plants if you intend to make your own sauce! Good, solid tomato taste, more acidic than sweet. Very vigorous, and very productive.
HISTORY: Introduced by 'Skip', who described it as follows: “I secured this most unusual large, red beefsteak tomato from a charming Italian lady at our local trash and treasure market. She told me that this tomato originated in northern Italy. That was all she could tell me, and being called Palmira, I have named it after her. The fruits are not sweet, more like Ray’s Greek (which I have also put into circulation) that has proved so popular with all who have grown it. Another excellent heirloom tomato.”
Sold in a 3.5" pot.
