The beautiful, bright yellow, banana-shaped fruits are absolutely bursting with sweetness and flavor. This is a very interesting variety, derived from the “
Speckled Roman” variety. We highly recommend giving it a try, especially when paired with the similar “
Opalka” variety. The fruits of the
Roman Candle variety reach maturity approximately 85 days after being transplanted in the ground.
Roman Candle was selected by John Swenson from plants that differed in color from Speckled Roman. The yellow, elongated fruits are an interesting complement to red tomatoes for sauces and drying.
