This is a stunning tomato variety from breeder Russ Crowe! Unusual and hard to find, I highly recommend adding it to your tomato garden!

Fruit have an unusual shape, growing into a large heart-shape, wide shoulders tapering into a point. Some fruit are wider than others, while some are more narrow. Skin is deep reddish brown with purple and green wavy stripes. The colour combination is spectacular. Cut it open and the flesh is a deep brownish red. Flavour is a mildly sweet, meaty, mildly acidic, a melt-in-your-mouth experience! Eat them sliced with a bit of salt and pepper, add them to salad or roast them. They are completely versatile!

This is an indeterminate variety that will grow to over 6 feet in height. Plants will seem wispy at first, but will thicken and grow into sturdy plants. Be sure to provide some gentle care at first when handling them.

Growing Information:

Start tomato seeds indoors a minimum of 6 to 8 weeks before the final frost date. Please refer to my Seed Starting Calculator for specific planting dates for your planting area.

Tomatoes grow best in full sun and require consistent moisture, in order to avoid blossom end rot.

Transplant outdoors after all risk of frost has passed. Space your plants at least 2 to 3 feet apart, depending on how well you stake them. Stay on top of removing sucker stems.

Plants are indeterminate and require proper staking in order to support tall vines. Remove suckers to encourage growth of the main central stem.
