Banana Leg Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum)
This Italian type tomato gives the best canned tomatoes. Little juice, very fleshy, it is sweet and delicious. Despite its sordid name, which literally means "banana legs" (have you ever seen bananas running?), it looks proud and its plant is healthy.
When planting, lay the plants horizontally, slightly arching the plant to bring out the leaves upwards.
