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. 10seeds/pack

Caganer, ‘tomàquet de penjar Caganer’, is a Spanish “hanging tomato” – longkeeper tomato from Catalonia, Spain. “Penjar” is “to hang” in Catalan. This variety has quite small fruits and got its name from the smallest room in the house, “el caganer”, which literally means "the pooper". 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

Carnica produces elongated, pear-shaped, paste-type tomatoes, around 20-50grams each. Bright-red, firm fruits with a pleasant, sweet tomato flavor. Keeps well after picking. Indeterminate. 80D. 10seeds/pack

De Pera Rosado is a semi-determinate variety growing to about 150cm in height and spreads width-wise depending on how much of the suckers are pruned. Produces round to oblate, larger fruits with a pleasant, traditional tomato flavor. Thick skin and firm flesh. Keeps very well after harvest, up to 4months. Crack-resistant. The name means "Pink Pear" even though the fruits are red. 75-80D. 10seeds/pack

Elma Blue is an indeterminate bush variety growing to about 150cm in height and around 70cm in width. Produces mid-sized tomatoes around 30-90grams each. Well-balanced slightly spicy tomato flavor.

Espalda Verde is an indeterminate variety growing to about 200cm in height and spreads width-wise depending on how much of the suckers are pruned. Produces oblate large fruits with a full, sweet, slightly spicy tomato flavor. Fruits in size of small beefsteaks, up to 200grams each. Bright-red fruits with a green neck, as the name states in Spanish - "Green Neck". Thick-skinned, very meaty fruits with firm flesh. Crack-resistant. Keeps very well after harvest, up to 4 months. Not exactly a Longkeeper variety in the true sense but Espalda Verde has the most excellent characteristics for storage after harvest. Especially for a large-fruited variety. This is one of the very few beefsteaks that can be stored for a longer period of time. Best stored laying on trays, since the fruits are quite heavy. Origen: Sadurní Playà, Manresa, Spain. 80D. 10seeds/pack
