The ‘Belinda’ tomato is a popular variety that is valued for its robustness and good taste.
Type: Belinda is a medium to large beefsteak tomato that is well suited to growing outdoors as well as in a greenhouse. It is one of the so-called ‘F1 hybrids’, which means that it is the result of a controlled cross between two parent varieties.
Color: The fruits of the Belinda tomato are usually bright red and have a smooth, shiny skin. They are round to slightly oval in shape.
Taste: Belinda tomatoes are known for their balanced taste, which is both sweet and slightly sour. They have a juicy flesh and are great for various preparations.
Growth: The plants grow vigorously and require plenty of sunlight and well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. They are relatively resistant to disease, making them a hardy choice for gardeners.
Harvest time: The harvest time is usually around 70 to 80 days after sowing, depending on the growing conditions.
Care: Like many other tomato varieties, the Belinda requires regular watering and fertilization. It is advisable to support the plants to prevent the stems from breaking due to the weight of the fruit.
Use: These tomatoes are excellent for fresh preparations such as salads, sandwiches or as a snack straight from the bush. They can also be used in cooking, especially in sauces or soups.
Special features: One of the strengths of the Belinda tomato is its high yield and the uniform ripening of the fruit, which makes it particularly attractive for amateur gardeners.
