This novelty is said to have originated in Tropea, Italy, where it is grown for its incredible flavor. The intense red color, mild taste and crunchy texture can be enjoyed when harvested young. Fully mature, torpedo-shaped bulbs develop a deep pungency that's desired for gourmet cuisine. Bulbs reach up to 6 in. if soil is not compact and will store up to 3 months. Long-day. 110 days.
