Tomato Rumsey's Cross Seeds
$3.90
Unit price perSolanum lycopersicum
Rumsey's Cross is a vigorous, high-yielding tomato producing large, flattened red fruits to approximately 10 cm across. The juicy, fleshy tomatoes have an excellent sweet flavour and are equally at home in the kitchen or eaten straight from the garden.
A particularly versatile variety, the substantial fruits are excellent fresh in salads, sandwiches and on platters. Their combination of flavour and fleshy texture also makes them well suited to bottling, cooking, sauces, pastes and other preserves.
Plants have a determinate bush habit, producing generous yields on relatively compact plants. They require less training than climbing tomatoes, although staking or caging is recommended to support the weight of the large developing fruits.
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 the heavy crop. Water at soil level where possible and avoid waterlogged conditions.
Maturity: approximately 70–80 days.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.
