Overview
Gilbertie is an heirloom paste tomato with unusually long fruit: up to 7 inches in length and sometimes only an inch wide. The flesh is solid and thick with very little seed cavity, which is what you want for sauce, since there is less water to cook off. Vines are indeterminate and mature in the main season, so provide tall support and expect a steady supply of fruit rather than one big flush.
