A gorgeous variety from Italy &#8211; Gigante di Carmagnola! The variety comes from the province of Turin, where the town of Carmagnola is located.<\/p>\n<p>Indet, grew it in the greenhouse, the bush is very strong, the variety is highly productive, and there were just so many enormous fruits! Some of the fruits reached over <strong>2 lbs (900 g)<\/strong>. The taste quality is very good, mine turned out very sweet, though to be fair, almost all varieties were sweet this year! For me, it was a late variety, meaning it started to ripen later than my other giant varieties. Seeds were from Natalya Drazhakova.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2023_02\/IMG_20220727_200426.jpg.feaa576dc27a2dc4f916d952646dc594.jpg.b31d5f836a22e76c1a025d20f6ef978c.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2023_02\/IMG_20220727_200426.jpg.feaa576dc27a2dc4f916d952646dc594.jpg.b31d5f836a22e76c1a025d20f6ef978c.jpg\" alt=\"Green Gigante di Carmagnola tomatoes on vine\" width=\"200\" height=\"266\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2023_02\/IMG_20220921_114325.jpg.4ae63d6ec7a7854df5bd7a11f4939f3e.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2023_02\/IMG_20220921_114325.thumb.jpg.f9ca6ae2c1b3bbd829c185a1975dfbd9.jpg\" alt=\"Massive Gigante di Carmagnola tomato on scale\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2023_02\/IMG_20220921_115632.jpg.5d3d55a11c48adeaab13096d84521260.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2023_02\/IMG_20220921_115632.thumb.jpg.2aad57ec221db967ae15d6e2bbf06b65.jpg\" alt=\"Sliced Italian giant tomato\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2023_02\/IMG_20220925_155246.jpg.aadbc6e889b7d74402360b7efbec65de.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2023_02\/IMG_20220925_155246.thumb.jpg.9f4fe00b56f26e100480cca81df87e46.jpg\" alt=\"Multiple 2 pound Italian tomatoes\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83d\udccc Quick Summary (TL;DR): Gigante di Carmagnola \ud83c\udf0d Origin: A fantastic heirloom tomato originating from Italy, specifically from the Turin province near the town of Carmagnola. \ud83c\udf3f Plant Habit: Indeterminate (tall).
