\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Orange Heart<\/strong>, affectionately nicknamed Fox Nose (Liskin Nos)<\/strong> by this forum community, is a legendary Russian indeterminate oxheart<\/strong>. It produces massive, butter-fleshed orange-yellow<\/strong> fruits that often sport a very distinct, sharp pointed tip (the “fox nose”). Known for its incredibly sweet, fruity flavor and lack of seeds, it is a massive favorite among growers. While commercial seed packets from companies like Poisk can vary wildly in fruit shape, the true “Fox Nose” strain shared by seed savers is prized for its vigor, long shelf life, and fantastic taste.

Orange Heart (Fox Nose)<\/p>\n

Verochka (Tomatinka) shared these seeds with me. Grew it in 2012. Easily the most indeterminate indet ever!!! It was the very first vine to hit the greenhouse roof, so I had to lower it. Honestly, doing that was a huge pain because the vine is so thick and robust (unlike a lot of wispy oxheart varieties), the main stem felt hard as a tree trunk. So after wrestling with it for a bit, I just bent it sideways instead of lowering it, too scared I’d snap the stem.<\/p>\n

Just like the name implies, the fruits are bright yellow hearts (Vera mentioned hers were more orange). Inside the greenhouse they weren’t huge, maybe 8.8-10.5 oz (250-300 g), but I had one plant outside in the dirt that threw a heart well over 1.1 lbs (500 g). The yield wasn’t massive for me, but the tomatoes are so gorgeous you don’t even care about the yield numbers! Almost felt bad eating them \ud83d\ude06 Taste is decent, just a little lacking in juice.<\/p>\n

Yeah Olya, weirdly enough mine turned out yellow instead of orange this year too… And honestly I don’t get why my own seeds grow bigger tomatoes for everyone else! Didn’t get a single one over 8.8 oz (250 g) myself. \ud83d\ude33<\/p>\n

Orange Heart \/ from Olya (Belarus), huge thanks for such an awesome variety!<\/p>\n

Indet, very tall vine, pretty sturdy, highly productive. The fruits are heart-shaped, orange, firm, meaty, and I absolutely loved the flavor. The photo shows the lower fruits, but the ones on the upper trusses were super pointed, with a real beak\/nipple on them, totally looked like a Fox Nose.<\/p>\n

Our Verochka shared these Orange Heart (Fox Nose) seeds with me \ud83d\udc4d\ud83d\udc4d\ud83d\udc4d<\/p>\n

Grew it in the greenhouse, wouldn’t say it got super tall, maybe up to 5.2 ft (1.6 m) max… Heavy, bushy vine with a huge potential for setting fruit… Pumped out tons of gorgeous heart-shaped fruits with that signature pointed tip. The tomatoes are firm, solid, and deep orange \ud83d\ude0b Perfectly balanced sweetness and juice \ud83d\udc4d<\/p>\n

Grew Orange Heart from Demetra Siberia and from Verochka (Tomatinka), totally different shapes. Demetra’s were heart-shaped with no pronounced point, huge first truss, around 1.3-1.7 lbs (600-800 g). Orange Heart from Tomatinka had a sharp point and weighed around 7 oz (200 g).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Got this variety from Larisa labeled as Fox Nose. Super productive, orange fruits with a pointed tip (all fruits were elongated). Average weight 8.8-12 oz (250-350 g). Amazing taste. Produced until I literally ripped the vines out of the greenhouse. Excellent shelf life. One of my favorites.<\/p>\n

Tanyusha Senchukova shared Fox Nose with me, huge thanks to her. Planted them outdoors and they really bummed me out at first. Everything else was setting fruit or already ripening, and these were just doing nothing. Picked the very first fruits on Aug 19. By September they finally kicked into gear and set a ton of fruit, just ran out of time to ripen. Note to self: very late season… definitely growing it again though, such a gorgeous and unique shape!<\/p>\n

BTW, grew Orange Heart from Aelita back in 2014 and got nothing like this. (Still have seeds, will retest more carefully this year). Honestly we should move Fox Nose to the “F” (L) section of the catalog, kinda hard to find it under Orange Heart \ud83d\ude01<\/p>\n

Like we are talking about different varieties… My Fox Nose was a mid-season with a long harvest window, varying degrees of pointiness on the large yellow-orange fruits, and an incredible ability to counter-ripen and store without losing flavor. First ripe one picked July 12, ate the last ones in late October after hauling them all the way to Moscow.<\/p>\n

Grew in the greenhouse, south side, pruned to 3 stems, set fruit very well. Sweet, meaty slicer with very few seeds.<\/p>\n

Growing it for the third year in a row (and will definitely keep growing it!) \ud83d\udc4d. Nothing but pros–fantastic taste \ud83d\ude0b, beautiful fruits, heavy yield in the greenhouse grown to two stems, long harvest window, and the late season ones store really well. Huge, vigorous vine, I actually tie the top (which still holds large hearts) straight to the greenhouse frame under the roof.<\/p>\n

The fruits are just one solid piece of sweet meat with barely any seeds. I stopped putting it in salads, it’s just too sweet \ud83d\ude01 I eat them straight up like fruit.<\/p>\n

Grew Fox Nose in 2018. And grew Pointed Orange Oxheart 3 times. Honestly don’t even know which one I like better \ud83d\ude01<\/p>\n

Fox Nose.<\/p>\n

Pointed Orange Oxheart in 2016, 2017, 2018. Throws a lot of different shaped fruits on the same vine.<\/p>\n

Read that it was a pretty late variety so I started the seeds early, and the little jerk is already setting buds, even though it has to stay indoors for another month and a half… totally miscalculated, turns out it’s not that late after all, in my conditions it acts more like a mid-season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Grew it again, deliciously sweet and productive variety – a total favorite \ud83d\ude0b\ud83d\ude18<\/p>\n

Easily my favorite among the orange varieties, I am obsessed with that buttery flesh.<\/p>\n

Taste! Beauty! Yield! These traits totally changed how I feel about orange tomatoes, never used to like them. Thanks to the forum ladies for showing me a whole new flavor profile!!!! Photo is from Sept 21.<\/p>\n

Hey pros, can you tell me if this variety is much different from Yellow Scallops (Zheltye Grebeshki)… Looking at the descriptions and honestly can’t find a big difference.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Definitely different! Yellow Scallops are true yellow (not orange), fruits are smaller, they’re flattened elegant little hearts and not nearly as meaty. Just compare them:<\/p>\n

Got it, thanks. Svetikk, I assume you grew both. Which one did you like better flavor-wise?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Both are favorites because of how pretty they are, taste, and reliable yield every year. But Fox Nose gets an A+++ for flavor (superb!) when ripened on the vine in a warm greenhouse, while Yellow Scallops gets a solid A (excellent).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Makes sense, thanks again. Tough choice \ud83d\ude22 …guess I’ll have to plant both and see for myself. Will definitely report back with the results.. \ud83d\ude0b<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

My seeds were from Poisk \/ Demetra. Definitely NOT Fox Nose, it’s some completely different variety.<\/p>\n

Grew it in a 5.2-gallon (20 L) bucket. Color is straight fire, delicious, taste is hard to describe though. Can’t really judge the yield since I grew it in a bucket.<\/p>\n

Orange Heart (Fox Nose) – indet.
\nBright, large fruits. Dense, buttery flesh. Great flavor, not bland at all.
\nHeavy yielder. The vine got way too heavy, snapped the twine, and collapsed. Had to retie it by the top.<\/p>\n
