📌 Quick Summary (TL;DR): Cuor di Bue Cavallino Tre Porti
- 🌍 Origin: A magnificent family heirloom from Italy. Named after Cavallino-Treporti, a picturesque coastal peninsula in the Province of Venice. The name translates to “Oxheart of Cavallino Treporti”.
- 🌿 Plant Habit: Indeterminate (tall) and mid-season. Grower Note: The plant habit is actually quite atypical for an oxheart. Instead of remaining wimpy and wispy, it grows into a very strong, vigorous vine in the garden (even though the young seedlings may look frail).
- 🍅 Fruit Characteristics: Large, beautiful pink heart-shaped tomatoes. They grow impressively large, frequently exceeding 500g (over 1.1 lbs).
- 👅 Flavor: Top-notch culinary qualities. A very juicy, sweet, and rich-tasting tomato.
- ⏳ Grower Notes: Despite its warm Mediterranean origins, it adapts wonderfully to colder northern climates, producing surprisingly high yields.

Cuor di Bue Cavallino Tre Porti. Italy.
Another worthy representative from the family of pink oxhearts.
Despite its Mediterranean origins, it showed good yield for me, with some fruits weighing over 500g (1.1 lbs). Just look at these hearts! 😍
The plant habit is atypical for an oxheart—it grows into a massive, tall, vigorous bush, even though it didn’t look like much when it was a seedling.
It’s a mid-season variety. The flavor profile is top-notch. A very juicy and sweet tomato.
