Mallorcan Winter Tomato

This was my first-year planting and growing Mallorcan Winter Tomatoes. I have been totally impressed with these tomatoes. They grew in in abundance like clusters of grapes, although they were small (2 to 2 1/2 inches in diameter.) The skins are thick which keeps them firm for months. The pale-yellow skins kind of fool you even after they are ripe. Once you remove the skins, which by the way are easy to peel; the tomatoes are red underneath the skins. I still have tomatoes I took off the vines over 2 months ago. I gave a lot of tomatoes to family and friends and decide to sell the rest on an “Honorary System” in front of my yard. I did sell some, but I still had too many left over, most people that drove by were not too impress with the pale pink color nor the size of the fruit. What a shame, they didn’t know what great keepers they are since this type of tomatoes are new in our area and perhaps our country. They have a great flavor, awesome in salads or whatever.

Grew these as a test, I planted four in the ground and one in a large pot. I did not support any of them. The plants had ripe looking tomatoes early in the season and I had read they do not have great flavor right away so I have been putting then in a bowl in a cooler spot in the house... it has over two months and those tomatoes look totally fresh. I have tasted them off and on and there flavor is still improving. I keep picking more and more and putting them in the house. Some time this fall or winter I plan to dehydrate them. I will post again once they reach full flavor. The plants are only about 2x2 but they do have a lot of tomatoes on them. I will plant more next year in the ground (they produced more) I will make sure and give them 2-3 feet between them next year.
