VTO136
Bundaberg Rumball tomato, crafted by Richard Allen and Patrina Nuske to the Dwarf Tomato Project through a cross of Black from Tula and Budai Torpe, pays homage to the Queensland town in Australia celebrated for its rum. This early-season, robust yet compact, dwarf regular-leaf variety produces an abundance of small, round red/chocolate hue fruits. With a flavor spectrum spanning from mild and sweet to rich and delectable, these plants usually grow to a height of around 3 feet by the season's end.

Start seed indoors 5-7 weeks before last frost. Provide plants with plenty of light to avoid tall, spindly tomato transplants. A sunny south-facing window or grow lights will be sufficient. A heat mat helps to speed up the germination process. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 65-85 degrees. A few weeks before transplanting time, harden off plants by exposing them to an increasing number of hours outdoors each day. Delay transplanting until your soil has thoroughly warmed up in the spring; usually about 2 weeks after the your average last frost date. Set transplants in the ground and cover stem so that only 2-3 sets true leaves are exposed, resulting in a stronger root system.
