Lycopersicon esculentum
Organic Homer’s German Oxheart Tomato (86 days)
Approx. 25 heirloom seeds
Indeterminate.
An old Amish heirloom that is extremley uncommon these days.
Huge oxheart fruits some weighing 1-1 1/2 pounds.
This is the biggest oxheart we carry.
The color is pink-red with some green shoulders common.
Large vines produce a heavy crop.
Makes a GREAT sauce or great eaten fresh.
We were super impressed with the sauce from this tomato. It's sweet and savory, but the tomatoes are big so you don't need as many like the smaller roma types. We found ourselves just picking what we needed for the night to make simple, but delicious sauces. Most of the time that meant only 4-5 tomatoes.
