Porpora

Tomato Porpora F1 — an early indeterminate hybrid developed by the Italian company Esasem, suitable for cultivation in open and protected ground, including polyethylene and glass greenhouses. The plant features a strong, compact bush reaching up to 1.8–2 meters in height with a well-developed leaf canopy, ensuring good coverage and resistance to temperature fluctuations. For optimal growth, pruning to 1–2 stems and regular feeding with complex fertilizers and bio-preparations are recommended. The crop is low-maintenance and demonstrates high stress tolerance.

The fruits of tomato Porpora F1 are bright red, round cherry tomatoes with a glossy skin, weighing approximately 20–30 grams and measuring 25–36 mm in diameter. Each cluster forms 7–8 flower clusters, each bearing 14–16 uniform fruits, with a total cluster weight of 360–400 grams. The flesh is tender and succulent with a classic flavor, making them versatile for fresh consumption, dish garnishing, fresh juice preparation, and whole-crop canning. The fruits exhibit high storability for up to a month and good transportability, with stems and calyxes retaining a bright green color for an extended period after harvest.

The hybrid shows high resistance to major tomato diseases, including fusarium, verticillium, tomato mosaic virus, and leaf spot virus, as well as intermediate resistance to nematodes. Thanks to these qualities and its high yield — 2–3 kg per plant — tomato Porpora F1 is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking an early, flavorful, and reliable cherry tomato harvest with minimal care requirements.
