C’al Papa Longkeeper Tomato

C’al Papa, ‘Ramallet C’al Papa – meaning “of father’s home”, is a longkeeper variety from Mallorca, Spain. A friend who sent me the seeds got her seeds from a friend from Spain. This variety is from his father’s village. My plants produced mid-sized, oval fruits of around 40-50grams each. However, my plant didn’t get sufficient watering. With sufficient water, the fruits will get larger, up to 80-100 grams. Yellow-pink fruits with yellow-pink flesh. Firm fruits that keep well after harvest. 75-80D. Indeterminate. 5seeds/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.
