Ro\u0219ii de Prahova (Tomatoes of Prahova).<\/p>\n

An heirloom landrace hailing from the Gornet area of Prahova County in east-central Romania.<\/p>\n

Tall indeterminate vine reaching around 6 ft (1.8 m), very heavy producer, mid-season maturity. Sturdy plant with regular foliage.<\/p>\n

The fruits are gorgeous blunt oxhearts in a rich raspberry-rose color, running 10.5 to 14 oz (300-400 g), and highly aromatic. The texture is tender, buttery, and melt-in-your-mouth, yet dense and sliceable, delivering that wonderful, rich flavor of old-fashioned traditional heirlooms. Skin is tender and thin.<\/p>\n

I grew Ro\u0219ii de Prahova in a polycarb greenhouse and fell in love from the very first bite. Even though it is officially listed as mid-season, it was among the earliest to ripen in my setup. Set fruit without skipping a single cluster, cranking out high yields across an extended harvest window. Breathtakingly beautiful, remarkably delicious fruit averaging 12.3 to 14 oz (350-400 g). An absolute top favorite! Felt like a crime to chop them into a salad, so we just made tomato sandwiches or ate thick slices fresh with a sprinkle of salt.<\/p>\n
