\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Homer’s German Oxheart is an indeterminate, late-season red oxheart. It produces large, slightly ribbed hearts with very few seeds and dense, buttery flesh. Growers note that while it isn’t an extremely heavy producer (averaging around 8 fruits per plant), the sheer size\u2014most weighing around 14 oz (400 g)\u2014and excellent, aromatic flavor make it well worth the garden space. Notably, it grows as a regular leaf variety. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

Got these seeds from our own Luba-Gulya. Indeterminate, late season. Produces large red ribbed hearts. Super aromatic and tasty, flesh is dense and buttery, barely any seeds. My vine set 8 tomatoes, and 7 of them were right around 14 oz (400 g).<\/p>\n

Tatiana, mine look exactly like that, they just haven’t started ripening yet. Really hoping the flavor delivers. I completely fell in love with this plant. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Tatiana, I got mine from Happy Garden, they list it as a potato leaf, but mine threw regular foliage. What kind of leaf did yours have?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Man, my memory is completely shot. I literally wrote up above that they were tasty and aromatic, and I already forgot. Good thing I can look back at my own old notes \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
