De Barao Black Tomato

De Barao Black produces meaty, mid-sized, oval-plum-shaped tomatoes around 40-90grams each. Heavy yielder! The fruits have a dark-brown color with dark-green necks. Firm flesh, almost like a paste-type tomato.  Good tomato flavor, both as fresh and as sauce, etc. Developed from ‘Barao’ in Russia. Introduced in Seed Savers Yearbook 1997. Does well also in cooler weather. Regular leaf. Indeterminate. 70D. 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.
