I found someone last year who lives in Mallorca but was unable to ship me ramallet seeds from the country, oh well. So meantime, I'm growing Kenneth's Piennolo from Grow Artisan this year!
It's the first to flower in my bucket garden (2 plants), and my family's ground garden (3-4, our labels faded in the sun oops)! It's also the tallest so far, two weeks after final transplant, when compared to all our tomatoes planted this year. So far so good!
Would you all keep this one to 1-2 stems, or would you let it grow all its suckers? Last year I watched several videos how the Italians grow these varieties, and they snip the tops to keep them shorter at 3-4ft tall probably for ease of harvest, so I think they might be indeterminate? They also seem to reduce watering as the fruits/plants mature, almost like a dry farming method, maybe that's how they get such good flavor in Italy. Hmm.
