Tomato seeds «Rosii Negre»

Tomato «Rosii Negre» (Black Tomato) - a mid-season, medium-height, high-yielding variety. A Romanian family heirloom. The plant grows up to 1.2 m in height. Fruits are round to flat-round, weighing from 150 to 300 grams, with an intense pink-purple color and green shoulders. Very fleshy, with small seed chambers.

The flavor is rich, sweet, with a pleasant aroma.

Tomatoes require a sunny location with light, fertile soil and good drainage. Seeds are sown for seedlings 55–65 days before transplanting into open ground or a greenhouse. The optimal growing temperature is +22…+26 °C during the day and not lower than +15 °C at night. Transplanting is carried out when the soil warms to +12…+14 °C, following a spacing of 40–50 cm between plants and 60–70 cm between rows.

Care includes regular watering with warm water (preferably drip irrigation), loosening and mulching the soil, and fertilizing with organic and mineral fertilizers. Plants are formed into 1–2 stems, removing side shoots and tying them to supports. For disease prevention, proper greenhouse ventilation and crop rotation are important. Timely harvesting of fruits stimulates continued fruiting.
