Re: coeur de boeuf
Sorry it took me so long to get back, I cannot log on at home, only with my old school computer...at school, on the sly.
I got the orginal plant from TSC.... they also sell the seed.
I am going to order the Oxheart from Uprising seed this season (just because I love Uprising Seed Co)
Thanks for remembering me Camp..... and I think that is what Boffer was saying?
Debs....who isn't done with this site, just nutty busy during school (a girl has got to plan a garden some days!)

Re: coeur de boeuf
I got some of the same seed from TSC. Cuore Di Bue they call it. We really like the flavor. It is sort of between a big slicer and a paste tomato in firmness. They were later to set fruits than all the other tomatoes but when they did had lots of big ones. I roasted and canned a lot of them. The green ones did well ripening in a box, stayed tasty.

Re: coeur de boeuf
I checked out the site and did not find that uprising seed HAD Oxheart this year.
I did find another seed catalogue that sells them in the US though, so we will see.
Turan, did yours look anything like the original pictures in my first post?
thanks

Re: coeur de boeuf
Related but not quite the same. They have a definite gathered pouch look. Some of them are as ribbed your picture but mostly only as the 'pouch' narrows to the top. This picture is pretty much what mine looked like.
Your picture looks almost like costoluto genovese tomato. At least the pictures I have seen.

Re: coeur de boeuf
Now I am really confused here/ I grew Italian heirlooms last year and they don't look like coeur de boeuf. I did not have that pointed top on mine

Re: coeur de boeuf
I find it confusing as well
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....

Re: coeur de boeuf
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.
