Banjan Rumi

Also known in the U.S. as the Afghan Orange Tomato.  This is a landrace originally from Afghanistan.  We have had this on the farm every year since 2022 and it has yet to disappoint. It is 100% a culinary tomato with a sweet and tangy flavor.  

The variety is indeterminate and fruited throughout the 2025 season.  The vines stay relatively short (under 4 feet) and we have never had to trellis them.  They have stayed in nice little tomato plant mounds for easy fruit access.  Fruit turns yellow to orange when ripe and occasionally the fruit will have a red stripe in the center.  Since this is a landrace, the fruits will be a variety of sizes and shapes.  

It does well in our moderately alkaline soils and appreciated 2 times weekly drip irrigation watering in addition to some monsoonal moisture.  0.2 grams
