EL-AMAR, Palestine-Israel. A very rare, old heirloom tomato from Palestine, passed down through generations. This variety has a rich history and exceptional value, as it has been cultivated and preserved for decades as part of a family's cultural heritage. Such heirlooms are typically untouched by industrial breeding, retaining their natural flavor and time-tested resilience. The plant is vigorous, reaching over 1.5 meters tall in open ground. It features a strong stem and well-developed foliage, forming a robust bush that requires staking and shaping. The variety is highly productive, yielding a large quantity of fruit per plant throughout the season.
Ideal for cultivation in warm climates outdoors or in greenhouses in cooler regions. It is resistant to short-term droughts and minor temperature fluctuations, making it perfect for regions with inconsistent irrigation. The fruits are large and meaty, weighing between 200 and 500 grams, with an intense tomato aroma and a well-balanced sweet flavor. The shape ranges from slightly flattened to round, with a deep red color and a thin yet firm skin. Perfect for fresh consumption, as well as for sauces, juices, and canning. This variety is a true gem for connoisseurs of authentic, old-world tomatoes with soul, flavor, and a history deeply rooted in Middle Eastern traditions.
