Bellatrix has high resistance to late blight, a common disease of tomato plants. It also has resistance to Fusarium, a common root zone disease. Red Roma/paste tomatoes ripen in a short period of time, allowing for a large harvest for cooking sauce or making salsa. Best grown in-ground with support.
Little Napoli F 1 60-65
Round, red 2-2.5 oz. (57 to 71 g)
CD HR: F1, V One of the only patio Romas, it features disease resistance for better garden success.
High yields for such a small plant; enough can be harvested at one time for a batch of salsa or sauce. Best in containers.
Sunrise Sauce F 1
55-60
Round, orange 3-4 oz. (85 to 113 g)
D
HR: F1, V The only professional non-heirloom orange Roma/paste/cooking tomato on the market. Yields large amounts at one time to harvest enough to make a batch of sauce or salsa. Small plants are ideal for small-space gardens and large containers. Easy-to-peel tomatoes are sweet and meaty, with a taste like traditional Romas.
Best flavor comes with cooking; can also be enjoyed fresh. Best grown in-ground or in a large container with support from a trellis or cage.
