Outdoors, the height of the bushes was just over a meter (3.5 ft), but in the greenhouse, it shot up to over two meters (6.5 ft) before I had to cut the tops off (top the plant). The bush, like most oxhearts, is not very vigorous and has delicate, wispy foliage.<\/p>\n<p>It is a mid-season variety. The yield outdoors was average (though I have to make allowances for the extreme summer of 2013), and the fruits did not crack at all.<\/p>\n<p>Out of pure greed, I pruned the greenhouse bush to three stems, and it happened to have the most honorable spot\u2014in the central bed right by the entrance. When I saw how many tomatoes it had set, I decided to calculate exactly how much that would be in kilograms. The result pleasantly shocked me: <strong>14.8 kg (32.6 lbs)<\/strong> from one plant!!!<\/p>\n<p>The taste is harmonious, a classic tomato flavor with both sweetness and acidity in perfect moderation.
