\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Marek’s Pointy Heart<\/strong> is an indeterminate<\/strong>, mid-season<\/strong> heirloom oxheart with characteristic wispy foliage<\/strong>, originally obtained from Polish gardener Marek via Tatiana Kouchnareva. The vines set dense, elongated, tapered red hearts typically running 8-16 oz (220-450 g). The interior is solid, dense, and sweet with almost no seeds, though northern growers recommend greenhouse planting for improved productivity over unprotected open ground.

Indeterminate, mid-season slicer with typical wispy foliage. Fruits are medium to large pointed red oxhearts: very meaty, nearly seedless, great overall quality, and very good sweet flavor.<\/p>\n

Ran it outdoors in open ground, and yield was just average. Will definitely grow it again, but giving it a greenhouse spot next time around. Seeds sourced from T. Kouchnareva.<\/p>\n

Every single fruit on my vine came out with this exact tapered, pointy shape, and barely a seed to be found inside.<\/p>\n
