Hohloma Paste-Type Tomato

Hohloma, also known as Khokhloma, is a paste-type variety great for cooking and sauces. Produces large, bright red, elongated fruits up to 10cm long. Firm and dry fruits with a lot of flesh and few seeds. Strong, traditional tomato flavor. Indeterminate. From Russia. 75-80D. 5seeds/pack

Paste-type tomatoes contain less water than "normal" tomatoes and are perfect for tomato sauce, puree, cooking, etc. The fruits are very firm and meaty and not so watery if cooked. 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.
