Mateta Longkeeper Tomato

Mateta, ‘Tomàtiga de Ramellet de Mateta’, is a longkeeper variety from Son Fortuny, Sant Joan, Mallorca, Spain. Produces small, flat-round fruits around 30-50grams each. Red-orange-pink fruits with firm flesh and thick walls. Keeps very well after harvest. Very drought resistant. Indeterminate. 75-80D. 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.
