Growing Information
Growing Burpee's Long-Keeper Tomato
‘Burpee’s Long-Keeper’ is an open-pollinated tomato prized for its exceptional post-harvest keeping ability. Fruits develop golden orange-red skin and can remain usable for approximately two to three months after harvest when properly stored.
Start ‘Burpee’s Long-Keeper’ indoors for transplanting. Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep, space plants 24 to 36 inches apart, and grow in full sun. Plant later in the season when growing specifically for a fall harvest and winter storage.
Ready to harvest in about 78 days, pick fruits as they reach the proper mature stage for storage.
Long keeping and practical, ‘Burpee’s Long-Keeper’ is especially well suited to extended storage after the garden season ends.
