A dwarf tomato with beautiful ochre-orange fruits accented by green shoulders, distinguished by its mild, well-balanced flavor and a hint of smokiness.

What makes Uluru Ochre remarkable is the distinctive color of its fruits and their well-balanced, gentle flavor. Their dense, juicy flesh offers a subtly sweet and tangy taste, accompanied by a hint of smokiness that adds depth to the tasting experience. Its medium-sized tomatoes display a beautiful ochre-orange color that contrasts with their green shoulders.

Its dwarf plant reaches approximately 140 cm in height and produces fruit in about 65 days.

Uluru Ochre was developed as part of the Dwarf Tomato Project, a collaborative dwarf tomato breeding project involving Craig LeHoullier.

Every variety has its own personality. The best tomato isn’t the one that everyone likes, but the one that finds its place in your garden, your kitchen, and your habits.
