Hard to find variety, this classic Italian heirloom produces large four lobed fruit with thick walls. You can harvest the fruit when green, but be patient and wait for it to further ripen to yellow, the flavour is out of this world. Heavy producers, this variety is a great choice for market gardeners.

This heirloom Japanese green is well known in culinary circles. Vigorous high yielding plants are loaded with broad, light green, deeply serrated leaves highlighted with distinctive white ribs. This variety is more heat tolerant than many greens and will resist bolting.
