Solanum lycopersicum
Tatura Dwarf is an Australian tomato producing good yields of round, light red fruits on compact bush plants. The fleshy tomatoes have a good traditional flavour and are particularly useful as a cooking and preserving variety.
Once widely grown in Victoria, Tatura Dwarf has a strong connection with Australia's former canning tomato industry, particularly around the Tatura and Goulburn Valley growing districts. Like many older Australian commercial varieties, it is now far less commonly encountered.
The fruits are excellent for sauce making, bottling, canning and general cooking, where their flavour becomes rich and concentrated. Plants have a determinate dwarf habit, producing their crop on manageable bushes that require little training.
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 light support can help when carrying 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.
Solanum lycopersicum
Thai Pink Egg is a distinctive heirloom tomato producing beautiful egg-shaped fruits to approximately 40 mm long. The fruits ripen through pearly jade tones to a delicate pink, with firm, sweet flesh and excellent fresh-eating quality.
Originating in Thailand, this prolific variety is particularly well suited to warm, humid growing conditions. The fruits have excellent resistance to cracking, even during periods of heavy rain, a valuable trait in tropical and subtropical gardens where fluctuating moisture can quickly split ripening tomatoes.
Plants have a determinate bush habit and produce abundant crops of attractive fruit. Thai Pink Egg is excellent eaten fresh, particularly in salads, lunchboxes and platters, where its unusual colour and shape really stand out.
Seed count: approximately 250–400 seeds per gram. Approximately 40 seeds per packet.

White Beauty is a striking heirloom beefsteak tomato producing large fruits that ripen to a creamy ivory-white. Inside, the pale flesh is smooth and meaty with relatively few seeds and a sweet, mild flavour.
An old American heirloom dating to the 19th century, White Beauty was once offered by commercial seed houses as one of the notable white tomatoes of its era. White tomatoes were particularly prized for their unusual appearance and gentle flavour, and the variety has survived largely through continued cultivation by heirloom growers and seed savers.
The large fruits are excellent for slicing, sandwiches and fresh salads, particularly when their creamy colour can be shown off alongside red, orange and dark tomatoes. Plants are vigorous and indeterminate and require sturdy staking or trellising as they grow.
Seed count: approximately 250–400 seeds per gram. Approximately 25 seeds per packet.
