Del Tonet was a standout of a 2025 trial of longkeeper types. From Catalonia, one of the centers of biodiversity for \"hanging tomatoes\" (\"de colgar\" locally), Del Tonet offers a profusion of peachy-pink colored, golfball-sized fruits with pointed blossom ends and contrasting deep red interiors. Firm in texture, with high acidity and good flavor, it checks all boxes for what we look for in storage types. Multiflora genetics produce abundant fruits on big broad trusses, perfect for hanging. These easily store 3+ months for us without much effort and would likely go much longer in ideal conditions. \u003cbr\u003eIndeterminate. 70 days.
