The fruits are about 4cm in diameter, around 30-40grams each. Yellow-red-orange fruits with greener necks. Keeps very well after harvest. Originates in Caldes de Malavella, reported by Joan Borrell, Indeterminate. 80D. 10seeds/pack

Indeterminate tomato varieties will keep on growing the whole summer until the autumn frost. They will keep flowering and setting fruit. The sucker doesn't have to be pruned, but if not the plant will grow extremely large. 1-3 suckers could be spared along the main stem and the rest could be pruned. If not pruned at all the plant might tend to put energy into growing large instead of producing tomatoes on the main stem and the selected suckers. All indeterminate varieties could be staked or supported to avoid fruits laying on the ground.
