However, growers report massive variations depending on the seed vendor. It is often confused with varieties like <em>Liskin Nos (Fox Nose)<\/em>, <em>Oranzhevoe Serdtse (Orange Heart)<\/em>, and <em>Korol Sibiri (King of Siberia)<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf3f <strong>Plant Habit:<\/strong> Indeterminate, generally mid-season (though some report early maturity). Has average foliage and performs well in both greenhouses and open ground.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf45 <strong>Fruit Characteristics:<\/strong> Highly variable depending on the seed source. While it&#8217;s supposed to be an &#8220;oxheart,&#8221; many commercial packets yield oblate or completely round tomatoes. Another distinct strain circulated by private collectors (the &#8220;Pointy&#8221; or <em>Ostroe<\/em> variant) produces true hearts with a prominent beak. Regardless of shape, the fruits are large (up to 400g \/ 14 oz), bright orange, dense, and very meaty with few seeds.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc45 <strong>Flavor:<\/strong> Highly rated across all shape variations. Very sweet, rich, and often described as having a texture that &#8220;cuts like butter.&#8221; Excellent shelf life for an heirloom type.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"add-review-cta\" style=\"margin: 20px 0; padding: 15px; background: #f9f9f9; border-left: 4px solid #4CAF50; border-radius: 4px;\"><strong>\ud83c\udf45 Grown this variety?<\/strong> <a href=\"#wpdcom\">Click here to add your own photos and review below!<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">S<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Sweet (Svetlana) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (8,792 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Belgorod region (USDA Zone 5)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>Description from the seed packet: <em>&#8220;A popular large-fruited variety with unusual fruit coloring.
