Uluru Ochre Tomato

Uluru Ochre is not only the best of the dwarf varieties I have grown but the best tomato I have ever eaten... It has a sweet and unique flavor that compares to none other... If you close your eyes, you think you 're eating a peach that tastes a little bit like a tomato... So far I have only tried about 60 varieties of tomatoes and this is my favorite but you never know... after I have tried another 60 I might have a new favorite.. You can not go wrong giving it a try..

I've tried about 10 varieties of dwarf tomato plants and these are far and away my favorite. Beautiful and amazing flavor.

It is a pretty tomato, but I found it to be on the mushy side and the flavor so-so. It does produce well -- the size varies -- some quite large to small. Someone mentioned Thorburn's Terra Cotta as being similar -- it is in color only -- the flavor of Terra Cotta is amazing and is much more firm. I have two Terra Cottas, each with at least 80 tomatoes. I won't waste the space on Uluru Ochre again, but I will be growing Terra Cotta every year.

I grew several Dwarf tomato plants last year and the Uluru Ochre was our absolute favorite! It tastes a lot like Thorburn’s Terra Cotta mixed with a Cherokee Purple. It has such a rich, smokey, acidic tomato taste! I will definitely grow it again this year ❤️

We will grow this tomato every year. Got our first ripe tomato right around 65 days. Hard to tell its ripe because of the dark green shoulders and amber body but the squeeze test gave it away. The color is unique, and the flavor is hard to describe. Ive never tasted anything like it. Balanced, complex, a new experience. Its meaty and would be great on a sandwich but we never got that far. It was gone in a flash. A little salt made the flavors explode even more. Looking forward to eating more of these. It was easy to grow, no pest or disease issues despite wet warm weather. Plant topped out around 2.5 ft but needed a stake. Fruit set wasnt great but we had really hot days that caused blossom drop earlier in the season. Youll never find this flavor in a supermarket - give this a try!

I remember my Australian project co-lead, Patrina, emailing me to tell me about this new color she found as one of our new dwarf project candidates. The chlorophyll-retention upon ripening character of one of the parents, Cherokee Purple, combined with the orange pigment to give the most unique combination of orange and green. The best parts, however, are the size, productivity, and wonderful balanced, robust flavor. The size can approach one pound - and the flavor among the very best. This is yet another significant achievement for our breeding project!

I'm so glad I picked this variety to try this year. The tomatoes are so delicious. It's an amazingly complex flavor that pairs smokey and fruity with the perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. The plants were very tidy and only about 2.5 feet tall. They only required a stake. I will always make room in my garden for these from now on.

My only regret this year is not growing more than one plant and not starting these earlier. My one plant yielded quite large, delicious tomatoes. The flavor and texture are superb and unseated my prior favorite tomato. Perfect on its own or in a tomato sandwich. I have been having lots of tomato toast for breakfast - toasted bread, slice of Uluru ochre tomato, fresh mozzarella, basil, drizzle Id balsamic vinegar and some salt & pepper!

Productive plants produce large tomatoes that not only have a unique color inside and out, but taste good too. They have the sweet flavor of an orange tomato along with the richness of a black tomato, with a little fruity tanginess of a green tomato. My favorite new tomato the first year that I planted it.

I have twelve different varieties of tomatoes growing and besides the Golden Heart, these are my one of our favorites. I wouldn't say Smokey taste but definitely a full, rich, delicious, melt in your mouth kind of taste. I'm definitely growing these again!
