È una varietà a crescita determinata. L'aggettivo "siccagno" lascia intendere che in piena terra viene coltivato con poca acqua, il che non è possibile se lo fate in un vaso.
L'ho coltivato in un vaso da 26 cm; temevo che non sarebbe stato sufficiente per una crescita accettabile della pianta. Invece, mi sbagliavo.

Data la polpa molto spessa, è adattissimo per fare il sugo, ma anche in insalata è degno dei palati più sopraffini.

La forma è quella di un datterino.

Tuttavia, questa varietà è caratterizzata da un discreto polimorfismo dei frutti. Notate il pomodoro in primo piano nella foto 4. Presenta una solcatura centrale, non insolita in alcuni frutti.

Alcuni pomodori sono stati colpiti da marciume apicale. Niente di serio, solo pochi frutti.

DATTERINO SICCAGNO TOMATO
It's a determinate growth variety. The adjective "siccagno" means something like "dry"; it gives to understand that in the ground it's cultivated with little water, which isn't possible if you do it in a pot.
I cultivated it in a 26 cm pot (pic 1). I was afraid it wouldn't be enough for an acceptable growth of the plant, but I was wrong.
It's particularly suitable for making the sauce because its pulp is very thick (pic 2), but also as a salad it's worthy of the most superfine palates.
The shape is that of a small date (pic 3), but this variety spotlights a moderate polymorphism of its fruits. On pic 4 you can notice a tomato in close-up with a furrowing on the middle. This isn't unusual in some fruits.
Some tomatoes were affected by blossom-end rot (pic 5). Nothing serious, just few fruits.
The three plants I cultivated yielded notable crops (pic 6).
