Ponderosa yellow winter tomato is a traditional keeper variety, with round, dark yellow fruit meant to be hung and stored throughout winter.
It belongs to the species Solanum lycopersicum, family Solanaceae. A semi-indeterminate plant, productive especially with regular watering during ripening.
Sow in a heated seedbed between February and March; transplant between April and May, preferring mild climate areas.
It needs regular watering during fruit ripening to support growth; it adapts well to open-field cultivation.
The fruits, about 100 grams, round with thick dark yellow skin, are picked before full ripeness to be hung in clusters.
The thick skin naturally protects the fruit during long storage; good field ventilation is still recommended.
Thanks to its long shelf life, it allows fresh tomatoes to be enjoyed even in winter months; the flavour is sweet and delicate, excellent thinly sliced in salads or for stuffing.
Rich in lycopene, vitamin C and potassium, Ponderosa tomato has antioxidant properties beneficial to overall wellbeing.
