Sumiko Kiyooka Petit Tomato Updated -

Unlike the original, which required constant sucker removal to stay compact, the updated version produces no dominant suckers. Simply remove yellow leaves at the base. Do not pinch the central leader—it will stop growing on its own at 10 inches.

Most small knives create suction on wet produce like tomatoes or citrus. The Petit Tomato has a subtle convex grind (flat on one side, slight curve on the other) that reduces friction. Slices glide through, not stick. sumiko kiyooka petit tomato updated
