AAS Winner Lizzano is a vigorous semi-determinate tomato variety with a low-growing, trailing habit excellent for growing in patio containers or hanging baskets. In the garden, some staking will benefit this plant despite a nice compact and uniform growth habit. The durable, appealing plants grow 16 to 20 inches tall with a compact spread of only 20 inches.
Expect abundant yields of high-quality, bright red, baby cherry-sized fruits. The small 1-inch fruits weigh about 0.4 ounces. The plentiful fruit set allows for continual harvest beneficial for the home gardener. Judges noted better eating quality, yield, and plant habit than comparisons. Lizzano is the first Late Blight tolerant cherry fruited semi-determinate variety on the market. Disease-resistant plants will last later into the growing season. Harvest begins 105 days from sowing seed or 63 days from transplant.
Suitable for growing staked – in containers, hanging baskets or pots.

Tomato Bob –
Lizzano has been one of my favorite cherry tomatoes for several years. It’s always the first to produce and the first to ripen. Each plant is short but very wide with up to 100 tomatoes per plant. The one inch tomatoes have excellent sugar/acid balance and full tomato umami flavor. Once the tomatoes are picked the plant dies typically in mid to late August.
