Known for its incredibly thick, strong stems. Grows well both in greenhouses and outdoors.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf45 <strong>Fruit Characteristics:<\/strong> Orange, elongated &#8220;icicle&#8221; or paste-type tomatoes. Very dense, firm, with a thick wall of meat and almost no gel. Average weight is 70-90 g (2.5-3.2 oz), and length is about 10-12 cm (4-4.7 inches).<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc45 <strong>Flavor &amp; Usage:<\/strong> This is a processing workhorse. The fresh flavor is considered ordinary or &#8220;tomatoey,&#8221; but its dry, meaty texture makes it an absolute superstar for canning, pickling whole, making thick sauces\/paste, and especially for dehydrating (sun-dried tomatoes).<\/li>\n<li>\u23f3 <strong>Maturity:<\/strong> Mid-late to Late season. Extremely long shelf life\u2014fruits harvested in autumn can be stored indoors until late November.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Pro Tips for Growing:<\/strong> Like many elongated paste varieties, Palmira is highly susceptible to Blossom End Rot (BER). Ensure consistent watering and provide extra Calcium during fruit set. It sets fruit reliably even in extreme heat when other varieties drop their blossoms.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">D<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Danko (Elena) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (10,117 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Unknown Location<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>Variety Palmira.<\/p>\n<p>Originally a variety from &#8220;Gavrish&#8221;. Indeterminate, about 2 meters (6.5 ft) tall, cluster-type, very productive variety, pickling type, mid-late. The fruit is an orange, very dense icicle, buttery\/oily on the cut. The variety is a real workhorse, sets fruit without skipping, the clusters are full, about 5-8 fruits per cluster. It grew in the open ground, the first clusters began to ripen in late July, early August. I sowed the seeds on February 2nd. It&#8217;s better to plant it in a greenhouse. Weight is 70-90 g (2.5-3.2 oz).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/3\/47-291113035409.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/3\/thumb_47-291113035409.jpeg\" alt=\"Cluster of orange Palmira paste tomatoes on the vine\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/3\/47-291113035745.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/3\/thumb_47-291113035745.jpeg\" alt=\"Harvest of elongated orange Palmira tomatoes\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/3\/47-291113043119.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/3\/thumb_47-291113043119.jpeg\" alt=\"Palmira tomato sliced open showing dense, meaty walls\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">Y<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Yuliya Ya (Yuliya) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (2,655 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Unknown Location<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>Lenochka, can you tell me at least approximately &#8211; what is the length of the tomato?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">D<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Danko (Elena) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (10,117 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Unknown Location<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<blockquote><p><strong>Yuliya Ya wrote:<\/strong><br \/>\nLenochka, can you tell me at least approximately &#8211; what is the length of the tomato?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yul, approximately 10-12 cm (4-4.7 inches), they can be slightly smaller or slightly larger.
