Long Keeper Winter Storage Tomato Organic

Southern Exposure Seed Exchange - LONG KEEPER WINTER STORAGE - Fruits become ripe 6-12 weeks after harvest. Some customers report storing Long Keeper 4-6 months. Though the quality doesn’t match that of a fresh garden tomato, flavor and texture is superior to most winter supermarket tomatoes.  The 4-7 oz. fruits ripen in storage to a satiny, red-orange color. Flesh ripens to medium-red. Best planted in late spring or early summer for fall harvest; we start seeds in early May. Long Keeper is often grown as a supplement to the main crop. Pkt.
