Description
Solanum lycopersicum ‘White Tomesol’ is an heirloom tomato variety appreciated for its unusual pale ivory to creamy-white fruits and mild, delicate flavor. The plants are indeterminate and moderately vigorous, typically reaching 1.6 to 2.2 meters in height, and benefit from staking or caging to support steady production. Fruits are medium-sized, round to slightly flattened, with smooth skin and soft, juicy flesh. The flavor is low in acidity, gently sweet, and subtle, making this variety well suited for fresh eating, salads, and light culinary applications where a mild tomato profile is desired.
This cultivar thrives in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture and good airflow. It is valued for its ornamental appeal, reliable yields, and distinctive fruit color.
Start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last expected frost date. Transplant outdoors after all danger of frost has passed and soil temperatures are consistently above 16°C to 18°C. In warm or frost-free climates, seeds can be sown from late winter to early spring for best performance.
