Mama Leone


In years past I have grown, Amish Paste, and Opalka for paste tomatoes.  I did not have much success with Amish Paste, but did find Opalka to be good.  This year I am trying one called Mama Leone.

Mama Leone is a paste tomato that was offered to Seed Savers Exchange by Nacy Kirch from NY in 2005.  She had obtained it from a local nursery that obtained the seed from a customer who immigrated from Italy with the seeds.

Mama Leone is a great tomato for making sauce with excellent flavor.  Regular leaf, high yields of 3-6oz red fruit.
