🍅 Tomato – Oxheart Pink (Heirloom)

(Solanum lycopersicum)

Distinctive and full of flavour, Oxheart Pink tomato is a treasured heirloom variety known for its unique heart‑shaped fruits and rich, meaty texture. Producing large, pink‑skinned tomatoes with few seeds and dense flesh, it offers a smooth, sweet flavour that makes it especially prized for fresh eating and cooking.

The fruits are soft, juicy, and deeply coloured inside, making them perfect for slicing, salads, sauces, and preserving. Their low seed content and thick flesh also make them ideal for making rich pastes and sauces with excellent body and flavour.

Grown on vigorous plants that bear generously through the season, Oxheart Pink is a rewarding variety for gardeners who appreciate both quality and appearance. While it may take a little longer to mature, the exceptional taste and texture make it a standout in any garden.
