Campari Tomatoes

Campari

Somewhat larger than cherry tomatoes, Campari tomatoes are deep red, round, and about the size of a golf ball. It is a hybrid that is grown and marketed by commercial Canadian hothouses and shipped throughout North America. They are redder than most store-bought tomatoes because they are grown hydroponically and ripened on the vine. Because they are shipped with the vine still attached, they do not have to be ripened with ethylene gas. The Campari has a great taste, firm skin, and sweet flavor. They are sold in clamshell packaged clusters on the vine. I've included this information for completeness, but to my knowledge Campari seeds are not available for sale to the home gardener.
