Uluru Ochre Tomato is a distinctive dwarf tomato variety producing smooth, round fruits in warm ochre and golden-brown tones. Developed through the Dwarf Tomato Project, this variety originated from a cross between Orange Heirloom and Rosella Purple made by Patrina Nuske Small and was later selected and named as part of the project’s collaborative breeding work. The fruits have rich, meaty flesh with a well-balanced, mildly sweet flavour and low acidity, making them well suited to fresh eating, slicing, and cooking. Compact plants are productive and reliable, offering a unique colour rarely seen in home gardens.

Start tomato seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before your last frost date. Gently press seeds into the soil, cover lightly, and keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs within 5-10 days.
For best growth, "pot up" tomato seedlings once or twice before transplanting outdoors. When repotting, bury the stem up to the lowest set of leaves to encourage root development along the buried stem, strengthening the plant.
After the risk of frost has passed, transplant tomatoes into a sunny location, spacing plants 18-24 inches (45-60 cm) apart. Indeterminate varieties will benefit from support, such as stakes or cages, to help manage upward growth and maximize yield.
