Solanum centrale is native to inland areas of Australia and was a much relished food of Aborigines. The ripe fruit has a delicious sun-dried tomato flavour and can be used in any dishes where tomatoes are used. Also called Desert Raisin or Desert Tomato.
Care and cultivation Seeds have a much greater germination rate when treated with smoke water (this treatment is highly recommended!!!). Plant just under the surface of a well drained mix in full sun. Keep moist until germination.
Prefers a loam/gravel soil. Well drained soil, fast growing and hardy. Likes a full sun position and is tolerant of dry conditions once established. Send up suckers over time, often the main plant will die back and the new shoots will pop up a short distance away.
15 seeds per packet.
