I only had a few seeds for these from Italy, but it is a keeper. Prolific plant about six feet tall with fruit all the way up.

(Cuor di Bue ou Oxheart)
The Heart of Beef tomato (Cuor di Bue or Oxheart) is a large, heart-shaped fruit weighing 250 to 300 g. This old variety has a slight green collar. Characterized by a red flesh with dense dew filling the whole fruit. Excellent taste, fragrant flesh! It is a semi-early variety with semi-indeterminate growth resistant to diseases.

There's something about the name ...

Less seeds, right?

I'm always surprised how many of the first Early Girls have that shape. (But, not that size ... probably not that taste, either :rolleyes:.)

Wow! Look at that load on the plant in the background!

You are right about less seeds Steve. I missed it until you pointed it out but will save seeds from one of these. I guess I was too interested in tasting it to notice the seeds. :rolleyes:
