🎯 Best For
Cooks who want a meaty low-seed heirloom perfect for stuffing thick slices and sauce
About Oxheart
Oxheart is a classic heirloom named for the distinctive heart-shaped, pointed bottom of its large fruits. The meaty pink flesh has few seeds and a sweet, mild flavor with very little juice — perfect for thick slicing and cooking. Fruits often weigh over a pound.
Growing Tips
Long season heirloom. Stake well for the large heart-shaped fruits. The pointed ends can scorch in intense heat — provide afternoon shade in hot climates.
