White Oxheart??
I am sure I saw a pic or was it Craig talking about one? I noticed one in the SSE and was wondering how it was. It seems strange but I tend to be drawn to potatoe leaf plants... overall are these better tasting?? -Rena

White Oxheart is regular leaf. It is a really pretty variety -
The fruits are whiter than the pics show. Flavor is mild and sweet - certainly not the intensity of Brandywine or Cherokee Purple, but very good for a white.

White Oxheart can also be seen in a pic of a CHOPTAG Taste Fest table in 2005. As Craig said a very good tasting White.

Wow, that white oxheart looks fantastic. Funny, I thought you said you weren't particularly keen on it, Craig. Maybe it was that you weren't running around doing the Snoopy dance about it and I misinterpreted that to mean you were just ho-hum about it. Va bene, it still has to wait a year, lol, I'm absotively posolutely committed to my final list...yep yep yep, that's what I keep telling myself, lol.

Craig's source of White Oxheart was Reinhard Kraft. For many years we have both traded with him and a couple of my current SSE listings are varieties from him as well.
I don't have my 2006 SSE Yearbook here by me but no doubt it was probably listed by Neil Lockhart , since Neil also trades with him. I'll check later when I'm in the back room, aka my tomato office cum TV and book reading area with a large sliding door that faces a section of the backyard so I can keep track of the deer. Carolyn |
