Tomato 'Midnight Roma'

Solanum lycopersicum

• Incredible dark, meaty fruits
• Chef favourite!
• Productive variety
• Semi - determinate

A striking roma tomato producing deep purple-red fruits rich in flavour and packed with phytonutrients. Bred by Dr Jim Myers at Oregon State University this tomato will stop you in your tracks. The firm, meaty flesh cooks down quickly to a thick, richly flavoured sauce with a smooth, creamy texture. Elongated fruits develop their deepest purple colouring with good sun exposure and signal ripeness when they soften slightly and show a blush of red near the base. Productive plants set generous clusters of fruit that hold well on the vine.

Seed Raising, Growing and Harvest Information

TRANSPLANT (recommended) – Start transplants 5- 6 weeks before planting date. Sow seeds 6mm deep, 4 seeds/2.5cm. Lightly cover. Keep mix at 23-28°C. Pot up into 5cm or larger cells after first set of true leaves appear. For growing transplants, maintain temperature at around 22°C during the day and 18°C at night

Harden off plants by slightly reducing temperature to 15-18°C and reducing water for 2-3 days before transplanting.

NOTE - Don't start too early—leggy, root-bound, or flowering transplants can cause stunting and reduce early production. Avoid exposing unprotected plants to consecutive nightly temperatures below 7°C.
