Overview
Spitze is a Romanian paste tomato with large elongated red fruit, roughly 2 to 3 inches wide and 4 to 6 inches long. Vines are indeterminate and ripen in the main season, so provide a tall stake. The size makes it efficient for sauce, since each fruit yields a lot of flesh for the effort of peeling.
