Longkeeper tomato (Solanum lycopersicum)
This variety was introduced by the Burpee company who discovered it at a gardener's in the United States. Small to medium caliber, round and red, this variety is distinguished above all by an astonishing ability to keep once picked. Indeed, if you pick it green you can keep it for several months!
MAINTENANCE AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Gradually acclimatize to outdoor conditions about 10 days before planting by taking them out during the day.
When planting, lay the plants horizontally, arching them slightly to bring out the leaves upwards.
