  • Medium-sized, 60-100g Roma shaped red fruit
  • Flavourful meaty flesh with slightly more juice
  • Productive - Bred for late blight resistance
  • Mid Season
  • Indeterminant 120-150cm

Medium-sized, productive, flavourful Roma,’ Quadro’ was bred in Germany for late blight resistance, and for growing outdoors or in the greenhouse. High yields of fruit continue late into the season. The fruit are juicier than some romas while still having a meaty flesh, good for salsas, tomato sauce and passata. Suits outdoor and indoor growing.

Bred by Harmut Spiel, as part of a Biodynamic vegetable breeding initiative, we trialled Quadro from a few growers against 10 other Roma tomatoes in our field trial. We were impressed with the overall yield of the plants, their resilience through until late in the season, and their full flavour. The tomato is rounder than another popular Roma ‘San Marzano, and slightly juicier. We found this to be more versatile for many of our preserving desires such as salsa, tomato sauce and passata. They produced better in a colder season than our favourite Roma for passata and jarring ‘Gilbertie Paste‘. And the overall yield and disease resilience was better than any other Roma we trialled.

Our seed production has continued the steward work of Common Wealth Seed Growers.
