Solanum Roman Candle USDA Organic Tomato, Solanum lycopersicum 'Roman Candle Tomato', is a pure yellow, banana shaped, paste type fruit that is 4 to 6 inches long. The superior flavor of 'Roman Candle' tomatoes, combined with the meaty flesh, make it a great choice for salsas and sauces. The bright yellow skin combined with the white flesh add visual interest as well. Tomatoes should be planted outside after the last average frost date. In warm winterhot summer areas, tomatoes can be planted in early fall for winter harvest. Tomatoes prefer well drained soil that is high in organic matter. Tomatoes need at least 1 inch of water a week. Soak to depth of 6 to 10 inches when watering. They need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. If you are growing tomatoes in a pot, use plastic because it prevents evaporation and afternoon wilts.
