Tomato ‘Zloty Ozarowski’ Seeds | Polish Heirloom Yellow Tomato

Description

Zloty Ozarowski is a Polish heirloom with orange-yellow skin and a flavour so sweet it tastes more like fruit than tomato. Each fruit weighs 100 to 120g. You will eat most of them straight off the vine before they make it to the kitchen.

This variety is resistant to Verticillium, Fusarium and nematodes, which means it shrugs off the diseases that kill other tomatoes in a wet Irish summer. Reliable, productive, and a genuine conversation starter when someone sees the colour.

🌱 Sowing information
Sow seeds indoors in a warm, bright location. Sow 2-3 seeds per small pot, about 0.5 cm deep, in a good seed compost. Thin to the strongest seedling after germination. An early start is key for a long, productive harvest.​

☀️ Light exposure
Requires a full sun position,the sunniest and most sheltered spot possible is essential for ripening these sweet fruits in the Irish climate. A south facing wall or patio offers ideal conditions.​

💧 Water needs
Water seedlings regularly. Once established, water deeply and consistently to keep the soil evenly moist. Avoid overhead watering to reduce disease risk. Consistent moisture is crucial for preventing blossom end rot.​

🌡️ Germination temperature & time
Seeds need warmth, ideally 18–24°C, for reliable germination. Seedlings typically emerge in 7–14 days under these conditions. A heated propagator is highly recommended for early sowings.​

📏 Plant spacing & final size
Space plants 50–60 cm apart in the ground or in large containers (minimum 25L). As a vigorous indeterminate vine, it requires sturdy staking or a tall tomato cage for support.​

🌼 Harvesting notes
Harvest fruits when they are fully coloured and yield slightly to gentle pressure. The flavour is sweetest when allowed to fully ripen on the vine. Regular picking encourages more fruit production.​
