- Beautiful, strawberry-shaped, bright orange oxheart tomatoes

- Good producer
- Mid Season Indeterminate
A vigorous, regular leaf plant that produces good yields of beautiful, strawberry-shaped, 250-300gram, bright orange oxheart tomatoes. The gorgeous, meaty fruit with few seeds has a sweet, rich, complex taste unlike most yellow and orange tomatoes. Excellent pronounced flavours.
Chef favourite described as sensational! The flesh is solid, juicy and mild with a tart flavour that tastes more like a red variety than an orange or yellow.

TRANSPLANT (recommended) – Start transplants 5- 6 weeks before planting date. Sow seeds 6mm deep, 4 seeds/2.5cm. Lightly cover. Keep mix at 23-28°C. Pot up into 5cm or larger cells after first set of true leaves appear. For growing transplants, maintain temperature at around 22°C during the day and 18°C at night
Harden off plants by slightly reducing temperature to 15-18°C and reducing water for 2-3 days before transplanting.
NOTE - Don't start too early—leggy, root-bound, or flowering transplants can cause stunting and reduce early production. Avoid exposing unprotected plants to consecutive nightly temperatures below 7°C.
