Solanum lycopersicum

Romano Burghanese is a thick-fleshed tomato particularly suited to drying and preserving. Its dense, meaty flesh contains less excess moisture than many fresh-eating tomatoes, allowing the flavour to concentrate beautifully when dried. It is also useful for sauces, passata, roasting and general cooking.

The variety was one of the tomatoes introduced to Australian gardeners by Don Burke and earned a place among those that passed his well-known taste testing. Its combination of flavour and useful preserving qualities makes it a practical addition to the productive kitchen garden.

Plants have a determinate bush habit, producing their crop on relatively compact plants. They require less training than climbing tomatoes, although staking or caging can help support the developing crop.

Seed count: approximately 250–400 seeds per gram. Approximately 40 seeds per packet.

When to Plant (Australia)

Tropics: February–August
Subtropics: August–April
Mild climates: August–December
Cold climates: September–December, after frost risk has passed

Planting / Sowing

Sow approximately 5 mm deep into seed-raising mix or directly where conditions are warm. In cooler climates, seed can be started indoors approximately five weeks before transplanting after the last frost. Best soil temperature for germination is approximately 16–35°C.

Space plants approximately 40–60 cm apart with 60–150 cm between rows. Grow in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil. Plants are compact and generally require less training than climbing varieties, although staking or caging can help support a heavy crop. Water at soil level where possible and avoid waterlogged conditions.

Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.
