Extremely early with deep green, cylindrical fruits 15cm (6") or more in length. Recommended for deep freezing. Harvest June-October.

Tom says: A very early variety with good mildew resistance. Tarmino will allow you to keep picking a huge quantity of fruit throughout the summer. I like to pick them when they are small, slice in half and sauté in a little butter.
