Oxheart in a sunny orange version. Oxheart Orange is a tall, mid-early tomato variety with large, heart-shaped orange fruits. The fruits are fleshy and firm, with few chambers and seeds, and have a sweet, mild flavor - noticeably less acidic than classic red varieties. The plants are grown with stakes, outdoors or under cover.
Oxheart tomatoes are a group of varieties with distinctive pointed fruits and dense, almost juice-free flesh. Oxheart Orange brings these characteristics to an orange color, associated with a high beta-carotene content and low acidity. The fruits are firmer than those of many old heart-shaped varieties, so they are less likely to crack and tolerate transport from the garden to the home well.
Like all oxheart tomatoes, Oxheart Orange has delicate, drooping, “feathery” leaves - this is normal and does not indicate disease. The variety grows vigorously, is productive, and when trained to one or two stems produces regular trusses with 3-5 fruits each.
Sowing (mid-March - mid-April, under cover): sow the seeds in trays or plug trays, approximately 0.5 cm deep, at a temperature of 22-25°C. Germination occurs after 7-10 days; after emergence, lower the temperature to 18-20°C and provide as much light as possible.
Pricking out: at the stage of the first pair of true leaves, transplant the seedlings into 8-10 cm pots, planting them up to the cotyledons - the tomato will then produce additional roots along the stem.
Planting out (second half of May): after the frosts, following a week of hardening off, plant at a spacing of 60-70 × 50 cm, deeper than the seedlings were growing. Insert a 1.8-2 m stake immediately. Choose a sunny position sheltered from the wind, with fertile, well-drained soil; under cover, the plants can be planted two weeks earlier.
Care: train to 1 or 2 stems, removing suckers (side shoots growing from the leaf axils) every week. Water generously but infrequently, always at the base; mulching helps maintain even moisture and protects against cracking. Apply a fertilizer higher in potassium every 2 weeks from the formation of the first fruits. At the end of August, pinch out the growing tip so that the last trusses have time to ripen.
This variety was created for eating fresh: the dense, low-water flesh cuts beautifully into slices for sandwiches and burgers, does not soften in salads, and makes an impressive carpaccio with olive oil and salt. Any excess can easily be used for sauces and passata - the fleshy fruits do not require prolonged reduction. Together with Raspberry Oxheart and yellow Banana Legs, it creates a colorful plate that gets children eating tomatoes without any persuasion.
Large, heart-shaped fruits crack when heavy rain follows a dry spell - mulch the plants with straw or grass clippings and water evenly. The first truss can be irregular in these varieties, sometimes with fused fruits: this is normal; the later ones will be even.
