Plant Features

Picus tomatoes are garden standouts, prized for their large, firm fruits that excel in both fresh and processed forms. This hybrid variety yields deep red Roma tomatoes typically weighing 4 to 5 ounces, with uniform, blocky shapes and smooth, tough skin that resists cracking—perfect for sauces, canning, or fresh eating. The flesh is dense and meaty, delivering a rich, classic tomato flavor with a balanced taste.

Why grow Picus? Developed by Seminis, this determinate plant produces a concentrated crop in a short window, thriving in hot conditions with a vigorous, protective canopy. Its robust disease resistance, including Fusarium Wilt, Verticillium Wilt, and Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus, makes it a reliable choice for gardeners seeking high yields and adaptability across diverse climates.

Grown naturally and pesticide-free, our Picus starter plants arrive healthy and ready to perform in your garden. Nurtured with care, they ensure a bountiful harvest of these tough, flavorful tomatoes perfect for any kitchen.
