Long Keeper Tomato

Days to Maturity: 78 days

Quantity: Approximately 0.16g or about ~40-83 seeds, sows 100 feet

Long Keeper (Solanum lycopersicum) is a semi-determinate tomato variety that produces fruits which become ripe 6-12 weeks after harvest. Some customers report storing Long Keeper for 4-6 months. While the quality may not match that of a fresh garden tomato, the flavor and texture are superior to most winter supermarket tomatoes.

Unblemished tomatoes are harvested before frost and allowed to ripen at room temperature. Store at room temperature so fruits are not touching and check for ripeness and rotting weekly. Used apple boxes with their fruit separators are convenient for this. Fruits are mature for harvest when they have a pale, pink blush. The 4-7 oz. fruits ripen in storage to a satiny, red-orange color with flesh ripening to medium-red.

Best planted in late spring or early summer for a fall harvest. We start seeds in early May. Long Keeper is often grown as a supplement to the main crop.

Growing Instructions:

• Semi-determinate: This variety has a growth habit that allows for a steady, controlled yield of tomatoes.

• Storage: Harvest before frost when the tomatoes show a pale pink blush. Ripen at room temperature for 6-12 weeks for optimal storage.
