Slivka Gurman #2 Paste-Type Tomato

Slivka Gurman #2 is from another seed source than Slivka Gurman #1. Slivka Gurman #2 shows more antho-color on the neck than Slivka Gurman #1. I don’t know if this is because of the sun exposure or if it depends on something else. Produces firm, paste-type tomatoes around 50-70grams each. Containing less water than “regular” tomatoes, perfect for cocking and sauces, etc. Elongated, beautiful fruits in deep-pink-purple with a dark-purple antho neck. Meaty fruits with a sweet-tangy tomato flavor. 75-80D. Regular leaf. Indeterminate. 10seeds/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.
