Longkeeper tomato (Solanum lycopersicum)
Long-storing tomato, firm, versatile, great for preservation.
This variety was introduced by the Burpee company, which discovered it from a gardener in the United States. Small to medium-sized, round and red, this variety is especially known for its remarkable storage ability once harvested. In fact, if picked green, it can be stored for several months! **CARE AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS** Gradually acclimate the plants to outdoor conditions about 10 days before planting by placing them outside during the day. When planting, lay the plants horizontally while gently bending the stem so that the leaves point upward.
