There is an awful lot of different varieties under the group 'Italian Heirloom' covering hte full spectrum of shapes.
I think GWN's original picture looks more like a Costoluto Genovese Tomato

Me too. Looked just like the ones I had growing the past 2 years. Good flavor.

Thanks Turan.

Put them on my wish list for this summer. They look very nice so will my Italian toms with this one. The Italian heirlooms very good and prolific too...

I am thinking that the ones they sell int he stores in France are perhaps not coeur de boeuf..?? I really wished I had saved some seeds.
I DID order some Oxheart seeds, and will grow them this year and see what they look like

I spent months learning French for this trip so plan to go back sometime....

My French is limited, but I THINK that coeur de boeuf is french for CCuore di Bue is English for Ox Heart is PNW for Italian Heriloom. Your milage may vary.
