Upstate Oxheart Tomato

After spending almost $5.00 for 15 seeds, what I got was an entirely diferent tomato plant that grew clusters of 1-2" flavorless pink tomatoes. I don't have enough space to grow multiples of each variety, and won't risk wasting a spot on the seeds I got. The package is pretty, but not worth the added price.

Massive, worth the extra staking for these monsters. Few seeds. Incredible flavor. 2-3lbs each. Make sure to prune the plant and support the growing tomatoes. Only negative I’ve found is that they seem to be more prone to blossom end rot under field conditions. Not terribly, just something to watch out for. Definitely will be growing these again.

None of the Oxheart seeds germinated. I tried three different times with different soil. Maybe got two or three spouts that quickly died.

Had the starts at six inch’s tall and yesterdays weather in Chico ca hit 91 and I did not get home in time to move them out of the sun, baked the starts.

Grew them last year. I admit I didn't prune them or pick off the lower leaves but the fruits I did get were huge. Really big! Slicing one in half, it's all meat! Few seeds. So, I would recommend them just baby them more than I did.

We love oxheart tomatoes . They are delicious, meaty, and contain a small amount of seeds. BLT sandwiches made with them are awesome!

Unmatched Flavor! As I scroll through the website and dream of my next garden, I realized without a doubt I wanted to grow these Oxhearts again. I grew them last year for the first time and they had the best flavor of all the full sized tomatoes in my garden. I had some trouble with chipmunks digging up my young plants, hornworms defoliating some branches, and a wind storm that tipped a lot of them over... but I did get a bunch of these to grow to maturity and though I didn't get that many fruits (I also started my seeds late), the ones I got were AMAZING for fresh eating and sauces. There are few seeds in these massive fruits and the plant puts a ton of energy into growing a few LARGE fruits rather than a bunch of smaller ones. It was worth the wait for them the ripen fully on the vine. I did a tomato tasting with the 6 varieties I grew. My parents and my grandmother all selected this tomato as their favorite. The flavor is sweet, intense, mouthwatering umami in every single bite. One tomato cut up and marinated fed two people with a large helping each. I will be growing these again this year, and starting them a little earlier so I can get more!

Amazing Tomato Beast! Adore these tomatoes! This was our first year growing this variety and they have done amazingly well despite our less than ideal growing conditions this year in Saint Louis. Weather has been rather fickle fluctuating between monsoons, drought, & our always present humidity; these poor guys have had a tough go of it - from my seed starting learning curve to being fully dug up by raccoons. Even in less than stellar circumstances these fellows have thrived especially compared to some of the other varieties I started. Consistent yields of 1 - 2 pound fruit which I've used to can some wicked good tomato sauce. Totally in love & highly recommend!
