Tomato Celano F1

2020 AAS Edible – Vegetable Winner

Celano is a patio type grape tomato with a strong bushy habit. It is best grown with some support, such as a tomato cage. This semi-determinate hybrid tomato is an early producer of sweet oblong fruits weighing about 0.6 oz. each. Plants grow to 40” in height and spread to 24” and have excellent late blight tolerance. In comparing it to other grape tomatoes on the market, one judge summed it up by saying “(Celano) is sweeter, the texture is better, the color is deeper, the plants are healthier, and the yield is phenomenal.” Prova Celano oggi!

JUDGE'S OBSERVATIONS

  • “The entry is an attractive tomato, dark-colored compact plants”
  • “If pruned heavily and trellised it would be a lovely addition to a patio or container garden. Definitely one of my favorites of the AAS tomato entries”
  • “The yields and the earliness make this tomato stand out from the comparisons”
  • “A strong outdoor performer with a good, bushy habit”
  • “Longest standing in the garden, still producing in late September (and still tastes good this late)!”

  1. Jeni Cullen, Eden Park, Cincinnati, OH – 12/30/2020

    I grew Celano in a container in a display at work. The visitors loved the tasty fruit, and I loved the ornamental value of multi-colored fruit on the vine at any given time. Just a couple vines were heavy producers of green, yellow, light orange, dark orange, and finally dark red fruit. Pretty and delicious!
