Kim’s Civil War Oxheart. An old family heirloom that has been grown since the Civil War era. The seeds were later passed on by Oregon resident Linda Taylor to Victory Seeds, which commercially introduced the variety in 2015.It is an incredibly vigorous, robust vine reaching 6.5 ft (2 m) or more, with large regular leaves. It’s a mid-season indeterminate with excellent yields and an extended fruiting window. I pruned it to two stems. The fruits were medium-large, weighing 7\u201314 oz (200\u2013400 g), and mostly shaped like blunt oxhearts. A few of them were slightly ribbed on the shoulders. They have an interesting dusky pink color, smooth skin, and are completely crack-resistant. The flavor is magnificent, packed with that true, old-fashioned pink tomato aroma.<\/p>\n

This variety is an absolute treasure! It pumped out tomatoes all season long, even though it had some bad luck when voles chewed on its roots. I had my eye on this beauty for about two years just based on its looks, and now I know how delicious it actually is. It was so tasty that unfortunately, none of them survived long enough to make it to photo day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I also grew this variety in 2019 and really liked it. It got to about 5 ft (1.5 m) tall outdoors in the dirt. It grew exactly as described, a mid-season producer with elongated dark-raspberry hearts weighing 7\u201310.5 oz (200\u2013300 g). The flesh is very sweet, and there are hardly any seeds inside.<\/a>
