Orange Roma Tomato Seeds

Orange Roma Tomato Seeds - Unique Heirloom Paste Tomato Garden Seeds
Solanum lycopersicum
Listing is for 1 packet of 15 seeds

Orange Roma is a unique variety of Roma tomato. It brings a burst of sunset color to your garden with large plum-type tomatoes. Unlike classic red Romas, Orange Roma ripens to a vivid tangerine-orange, with a sweet flavor that shines in fresh salsa and cooks down into golden sauce or paste without losing its rich hue. Heavy-setting vines crank out clusters of 3–4 oz fruits and and resist cracking thanks to their thick walls and few seeds. Start indoors 6–8 weeks before last frost, transplant to full sun, and trellis or cage for continuous harvests until frost.

TOMATO CHARACTERISTICS
Indeterminate

Color: Orange

Flavor profile: sweet and savory

Average fruit size: plum, average is 4oz

Height/Fertilizing: height can vary as it depends on your growing conditions and care. I have a fertilizing regimen which definitely helps achieve this kind of growth but is not necessary. Adding small doses of an organic fertilizer every week has really helped me take my tomato growing to another level. Synthetic fertilizers can burn or damage plants if used too often. Therefore, I recommend organic fertilizers because they wont damage plants when used often. However, do what suits your garden and the products you like to use. 

This is my current fertilizing regimen: I start by fertilizing weekly with 1/8 cup of Espoma Tomato tone sprinkled at the base of each plant. Once the plants start to bloom, I start alternating the weeks. One week with the Espoma Tomato Tone and then the next week with this recipe: mix 1 cup of Azomite dust and 1/4 cup of Fox Farms Tiger Bloom liquid into a 5 gallon bucket of water and pour some at the base of each plant. 

PLANTING
Germination: 7-14 days. To speed up germination I recommend using a heat mat. 

Seed Sowing Depth: 1/8” deep 

Sowing: I highly recommend to start in pots in doors with a heat mat 6-8 weeks before your last frost date. If you gardening in Florida, we kind of have two opportunities to grow tomatoes per year. You can start them in doors around July 1st and transplant into the garden end of September for fall/winter harvest. Or you can start from seed in doors 6-8 weeks from your last frost date for spring harvest. 

Days to maturity: 80 days from transplanting into the garden
