Tondino di Manduria is an Italian Heirloom from Puglia. This old variety, which does not exceed one meter in height, produces an abundance of clusters of 4 to 6 fruits, slightly oval, of the “Roma” type. Their flesh, very juicy, offers a flavor particularly appreciated in salads. Amateur Seeds grown and seed saved in Cork, Ireland, not certified for commercial use.
