\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Mayo’s Delight<\/strong> is an indeterminate<\/strong>, mid-to-late season<\/strong> heirloom that yields colossal, blunt red oxhearts typically weighing 21 oz (600 g) with individual fruits tipping the scales at 2.2 lbs (1 kg)<\/strong>. Vines reach 6 ft (1.8 m) and produce dense, solid meat with outstanding sweet, balanced flavor and virtually no seed cavities. Slices keep exceptionally well on the counter for up to two weeks, though northern gardeners should start seeds early to beat late-season autumn frosts. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

Indeterminate, mid-late season variety. Tall vines, reaching up to 6 ft (1.8 m). Huge red fruits averaging 21 oz (600 g), with individual monsters easily hitting 2.2 lbs (1 kg). Fruit shows subtle ribbing around the stem end.<\/p>\n

Repeated it again this season: sowed seeds on March 15, transplanted out into the greenhouse in May. Picked my first fully ripe fruit on August 3. For our climate, it really needs to be sown in late February to hit peak stride earlier. Flavor is rich and well-balanced with very dense meat. Fully ripe fruit can hold on the counter for 10-14 days without going soft.<\/p>\n

Mayo’s Delight. Wonderful variety, indeterminate vine, ran it in the greenhouse trained to 2 stems. Fruits are massive, lightly ribbed, fat blunt hearts with exceptional flavor! \ud83d\udc4d Flesh is dense, but trying to find seeds inside is an absolute headache! \ud83e\udd26\u200d\u2642\ufe0f<\/p>\n
