\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Heshpole is a somewhat unusual indeterminate pink oxheart<\/strong> that features sturdy potato leaf foliage instead of the typical wispy vines. It produces plump, uniform 7 to 10.5 oz (200-300 g) hearts with a sweet flavor profile. While not a massive yielder, it shines as an early-season producer, making it an excellent choice for short-summer climates or areas with early disease pressure. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

Got acquainted with this variety this past season and I definitely think it deserves a spot in our forum database.<\/p>\n

I figure there are probably folks out there who’ve already grown this one and can share their impressions too.<\/p>\n

It’s a pretty unusual variety. I honestly can’t even think of another typical oxheart I’ve grown off the top of my head that has potato leaf foliage. I’m sure they’re out there, just not a lot of them. Because of that, the plant doesn’t look like a wimpy, wispy thing the way oxhearts usually do. It’s a sturdy, tall vine. Produces pink hearts around 7 to 10.5 oz (200-300 g). They are plump, uniform, and have a very decent flavor – definitely on the sweeter side.<\/p>\n

While it didn’t break any yield records for me, I was really happy with how early it was (it was one of the very first indeterminates to set fruit). That’s a huge plus for tomato growers in short-season areas, or for anyone who has to deal with the crud and diseases showing up early in the summer. Definitely deserves some attention.<\/p>\n
