\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Reinhard Kraft\u2019s White Heart<\/strong> (Weisses Herz von Reinhard Kraft) is a mid-season<\/strong>, indeterminate<\/strong> white oxheart bred by German tomato specialist Reinhard Kraft<\/strong> from a cross between Cherokee Green<\/em> and an unknown pink heart. The slender, wispy vines grow 5.25 to 6 ft (1.6-1.8 m)<\/strong> and pump out heavy, pale ivory hearts weighing 11 to 18 oz (300-500 g)<\/strong> that develop a delicate pink starburst at the blossom tip when dead-ripe. Growers report a mild, sweet, low-acid flavor and note a crucial tip: plant white varieties in the shadiest spot of the greenhouse<\/strong> to prevent sunlight from turning them yellow.

Reinhard Kraft\u2019s White Heart.
\nPhotos attached from the web.
\nReinhard Kraft’s White Heart tomato is easily one of the tastiest white-fruited varieties around. It came out of a cross between Cherokee Green and a pink heart tomato, bred by the well-known German collector.
\nMid-season indeterminate with fantastic productivity and solid disease tolerance. The vine tops out around 5.25 to 6 ft (1.6-1.8 m) with delicate, slender foliage typical of heart varieties. Fruits are large, creamy white-to-pale-yellow hearts weighing 11 to 18 oz (300-500 g). When the fruit hits peak ripeness, a lovely pink blush blooms right on the blossom tip, and you can see that same pink marbling when you slice into the core. Very pleasant, smooth, sweet tomato flavor with juicy, dense, meaty flesh. Terrific for platters, fresh slicing, cooking, sauces, and snacking fresh right off the vine.
\nI grew this variety in my polycarbonate greenhouse from seeds received from Latvian collector Natalya Yolushkina. I was really eager to compare it head-to-head with my standout from last year, White Heart of Kiel (Belye Serdtse Kilya). I secretly suspected they might be the exact same cultivar circulating under different names, but they proved to be distinct varieties. Kraft’s White Heart is definitely a solid tomato, but flavor-wise it didn’t quite match White Heart of Kiel, it lacked that extra spark. Still, it yielded heavily with a very respectable, delicate flavor. I love white tomatoes in general, they make fresh summer salads look gorgeous. A good rule of thumb for white varieties: tuck them into the shadiest corner of your garden or greenhouse. That is how you keep that clean ivory-white skin. The more direct, blazing sun they get, the yellower they turn.

Grew this variety this past season. Productivity was outstanding, it set every single cluster without dropping a blossom, and turned out super sweet \ud83d\ude0b Definitely keeping it in my garden lineup for next year, even if it’s just a single vine.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
