📌 Quick Summary (TL;DR): Gigantsko Srpsko Srce (Giant Serbian Heart)
- 🌍 Origin: Heirloom oxheart variety originally from Serbia. The native name “Gigantsko Srpsko Srce” literally translates to “Giant Serbian Heart”.
- 🌿 Plant Habit: Indeterminate (tall vining). A very vigorous and highly productive plant. Growers report excellent results when growing it in a greenhouse and pruning it to two main stems (leaders).
- 🍅 Fruit Characteristics: Large, elongated red oxhearts. These are massive, heavy fruits that easily reach 1.1 lbs (500 g) and often push well beyond that. The flesh is incredibly dense, practically “solid meat,” with very few seeds. As a bonus, they have a surprisingly good shelf life for an heirloom oxheart.
- 👅 Flavor: Classic, rich, and delicious sweet tomato flavor that heirloom oxheart lovers prize.

Another highly successful Serbian variety 👍
Indeterminate, very productive. I grew it in the greenhouse, pruned to two stems. The fruits are elongated red hearts weighing up to 1.1 lbs (500 g) and more. They are meaty, very delicious 😋, and they actually store pretty well.
Giant Serbian Heart is a wonderful variety. It is practically solid meat.
