\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Royal Finger<\/strong> (Korolevskiy Palchik) is a determinate<\/strong>, mid-season<\/strong> paste tomato producing massive clusters of elongated, bright scarlet finger-like fruits on compact 3.3 to 4.5 ft (1-1.4 m)<\/strong> bushes. Extremely meaty with almost no seeds, it excels at whole-fruit canning and sun-drying. Unlike many long paste varieties that are notorious for blossom end rot, growers report zero BER<\/strong>, though the tender skins mean short counter life and loose stem attachments that prefer greenhouse protection over windy outdoor beds.

Determinate, compact habit staying around 3.3 to 4.5 ft (1-1.4 m), mid-season maturity. Gorgeous variety with insane productivity. Fruits are bright scarlet, long, finger-shaped, meaty, and have very few seeds. Tailor-made for whole-pack canning and sun-drying, and works wonderfully cooked down into ketchup and thick tomato pastes. Outstanding, rich, classic old-time tomato flavor with great sweetness.

Planted this one specifically for dehydrating, but it turned out so delicious with tender skins that we ended up eating almost all of them fresh right out of hand \ud83d\ude42
\nThey do not keep long on the counter, they start shriveling from the stem end fairly quickly. The fruit also does not hold onto the stem very tightly, so if you deal with strong gusts, I would avoid planting it outdoors in open ground. Inside the high tunnel everything was fine, they didn’t drop on their own.
\nCrazy productive, and zero BER throughout the entire season. Extended harvest window. I pruned suckers only up to the first flower cluster.
