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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeed count: approximately 250–400 seeds per gram.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDue to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eden Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Packet","offer_id":46649652412634,"sku":null,"price":3.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/4866\/8890\/files\/download_ecdc50be-e023-4fc7-a9a9-182321c3742e.jpg?v=1754016806","url":"https:\/\/www.edenseeds.com.au\/products\/tomato-romano-burghanese-626","provider":"Eden Seeds ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
