Tomato Oxheart Orange

Oxheart Orange is an impressive heirloom of the oxheart type – for many tomato connoisseurs the premier league of beefsteak tomatoes. What makes Oxheart Orange special? The heart-shaped, bright orange fruits are extremely meaty with a creamy texture and contain almost no seeds. The flavour is perfectly balanced: fruity-sweet with fine acidity, without the wateriness of many large varieties. Fruits reach 250–400 g, and up to 700 g under optimal conditions. In the kitchen this variety truly shines: a single slice fills a whole sandwich, the creamy texture excels in salads and caprese, and the dense flesh delivers velvety sauces without long reduction. The plant is indeterminate (vine type) and needs sturdy support outdoors and in the greenhouse – those heavy fruits take their toll. Pruning side shoots and limiting to 2 stems increases fruit size. Who is this variety for? Food lovers looking for tomatoes with substance, and anyone making their own sauces and passata. Open-pollinated heirloom – you can save your own seed (even if there are only a few seeds per fruit).
