Mila Tomato heirloom Irish grown

The Mila tomato is a rare Russian variety that produces vibrant tangerine-orange, elongated, pear-shaped fruits. Known for its high productivity, The Mila tomato tastes sweet with a dense flesh and few seeds and grows in long trusses, making it perfect for snacking or creating rich orange sauces and pastes. The tomatoes have a firm texture offering a balance of sweetness and acidity. This indeterminate variety matures around 70 days from transplanting and thrives with regular care, making it a great choice for home gardeners seeking a unique and flavorful tomato. It is definitely a show stopper as rarely have we seen such a large and long pear shaped tomato with that striking bright orange colour. One for the collectors! Seeds grown and seed saved in Cork, Ireland.
