Tomate Garrafinha



     From Brazil. This variety produces medium sized, regular leafed plants that show moderate resistance to blight. Productivity is moderate to heavy and unlike most paste tomatoes I have grown, there was no blossom end rot. Fruits have two locules, are somewhat mealy and very acidic. I am somewhat at a loss as to how to use high acid tomatoes. While they are certainly tolerable, they don't particularly lend themselves to anything I do in the kitchen. They are pretty enough but to my tastes not really worth limited gardening space unless I was going to use them for a breeding project.
