Oleyar's German by Mark Korney

amideutch · September 1, 2010

I first grew this variety in 2008 which I received seed from Mark Korney who posts here and at GW. It is a heirloom from Marks family that probably originated in Europe possibly from Germany. It's a Red Oxheart and one of the most beautiful reds I have grown. Excellent flavor with good production of 1 lb + fruits on an indeterminate plant. It's a glossy red what folks jokingly refer to as a waxed looking tomato but Oleyar's is that way off the vine, a real beauty. None of the photo's were taken with a flash as I had it turned off. Ami

I did not grow Oleyar's German this year, but grew it in 2008 and 2009. It is an outstanding tomato. Several people who get plants from me have requested I grow it out again next year. Oleyar's will become an every year variety beginning next year. Thanks Mark!!

That is one to be proud of. How tall did the plant get?

I grew Oleyar's German in '08 and thought it was a great variety - lovely, excellent tasting fruits. Not very productive in my climate though.

On the list (with so very many others that I've not gotten back around to yet) to grow again at some point.

Picked 2 more fruits today and one was the largest tomato I have harvested this year. This has to be one of the best Red oxhearts out there. Ami

bboy, I'll let you know next year when I grow Sylvan Gaume. Had the DW do a taste test between Oleyar's and Cowlick's and Oleyar's was two thumbs up compared to one thumb up for Cowlick's. Ami

Tim let me know how it does for you. I'm sending you the Kosovo seed and some Donskoi so you will have a couple of great hearts to compare it to.

Timbotide · September 9, 2010
