I am noticing that in the past few years Maglia Rosa has developed quite a following. We have fallen back in love with the variety (we naively fell out of love for a few years when we were focused too narrowly on only creating indeterminate varieties)
For those of you potentially interested in cherry tomatoes that have a similar "bush" habit as Maglia Rosa (and similar high, and early, productivity):
We are in the final stages of developing pink, red and
yellow/green striped cherry tomatoes that are semi-determinate, productive, early and tasty (like Maglia Rosa). However, they are all round, not elongated.
Not surprisingly, we used Maglia Rosa to develop them. At least 1 or 2 should be ready to go next fall, after one last round of trialing this coming summer.
