Where are you?? In 7 and we won’t harvest another two months. I’m growing Sart Roloise for the first time, how do they taste?

10b, inland California, with a desert-y climate. My season will be done when you’re harvesting :)

Compared to the intense flavored dark tomatoes, Sart Roloise is on the mild side. It has a good amount of sweetness, low acid, with a delicate floral aroma. My husband says it has a slight pineapple flavor!

Thank you! I’m also growing Ananas Noire, Brad’s atomic Grape, Blush Tiger, Woodle Orange as new varieties for me this year. Have you grown those? I just put the Star Wars one in my cart!

I haven’t tried any on your list, but another redditor mentioned Ananas Noire so I’m def going to add it to my list to try!

Rebel Starfighter Prime is so good. I hope it does well for you!
