Sart Roloise Tomato – BC

Description

Sart Roloise Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a striking Belgian tomato variety created by Roland Boulanger in 2012 from a cross between White Wonder and Baby Blue. The large beefsteak fruits are round to slightly flattened, with a beautiful creamy yellow to orange color and distinctive indigo-purple brushstrokes across the shoulders. Fruits typically weigh around 200–350 g and may reach 500 g or more under good growing conditions.

The dense, meaty flesh has relatively few seeds and delivers a sweet, fruity and complex flavor with a pleasant balance of acidity. The plants are indeterminate, tall and vigorous, making strong support essential. Sart Roloise is an excellent choice for gardeners looking for a productive tomato with exceptional appearance and gourmet flavor.

Planting & Care Tips

• Sow seeds about 0.5 cm deep in a warm, well-drained seed-starting mix.
• Germination usually takes 7–14 days.
• Transplant seedlings about 60–75 cm apart.
• Grow in full sun with at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
• Provide a strong stake, cage or trellis as the indeterminate plants can become tall and heavily loaded with fruit.
• Keep soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging.
• Feed with compost and a balanced tomato fertilizer throughout the growing season.
• Harvest when the fruit develops its rich yellow-orange color and begins to soften slightly.
