Description

The listing, Rare ✽ ANGEL HEART ✽ Oxheart Tomato ✽ 15 Seeds ✽ Organic Artisan has ended.

Rare artisan tomato, in the process of registration. This was my favorite tomato last summer. Large and meaty, these powerhouses produced an abundance of fruit with very few seeds. Angel Heart is perfect for colorful salsas and sauces. They cook into a thick, tasty sauce rather quickly. These are the most interesting oxheart paste tomatoes that I have ever seen! Artisan bred by Millard Murdock in North Carolina. If my calculations are correct, these seeds would be F6 or F7 for the year 2014. They should be true to seed, as every plant we grew this year had all the best traits. This is a great chance to grow an incredible, rare tomato!

This Auction: You will be receiving 15 seeds from my garden. They will be sent First Class mail for FREE in the United States. I only take Paypal for International bidders. I will also combine any additional auction seeds (within 5 days) for no additional shipping charge. I am happy to say that my seeds tested 99-100% germination within 2 weeks at a temp of 65°F in the spring. Excellent for beginners!

Propagation Method: From seed, sow seeds indoors 6 weeks before last spring frost. Sow 2-3 seeds per pot and thin to one plant per container. After four weeks, transplant seedlings to larger pots, and about 10 days before the last spring frost, begin hardening the plants to the outdoors. Transplant your plants to a sunny, highly composted location when soil temperatures are at least 55 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Stake or cage the plants for support and to prevent sprawling on the ground.

Hello, would you say that this type has a sweet taste to it? I heard that the lighter colored tomatoes are sweet tasting, how would you describe the taste?

In general, orange & yellow tomatoes tend to have less acid. For tomatoes with a high sugar content, that would make them seem sweeter. This does not have much of a sweet taste though, more savory in my opinion. I don't think the sugar content is particularly high. It is more meaty with an old-fashioned paste tomato flavor. If you close your eyes and smell it, you can actually smell the beta carotene. Brushing it with olive oil and broiling really brings this flavor out too. Now you've got me thinking of vine-ripe tomatoes in the middle of winter & I soooo miss them. :)
