\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Sojourner South American is an indeterminate<\/strong>, mid-season<\/strong> heirloom oxheart known for its heavy production of large, irregular pink-red hearts ranging from plum shapes to massive fused double-hearts. The vines are notoriously wispy and delicate<\/strong>, but the fruits are dense, buttery, and packed with solid meat and almost no seeds. Excellent sweet-tart balance makes it a versatile dual-purpose tomato for both fresh slicing and thick sauces. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

The name translates roughly as “Traveler from South America.” An indeterminate, mid-season, high-yielding variety. The fruits are irregular pinkish-red hearts, ranging from elongated plum shapes to fused double-hearts.
\nThe vine looks quite wispy and frail. Best planted in full sun, and make sure not to crowd it so it gets plenty of light and airflow. The flavor is really, really good and nicely balanced, with both sweetness and a gentle acidity present. The flesh is dense, buttery, and has very few seeds \ud83d\ude0b
