Upstate Oxheart - new favorite of mine

jhp · June 1, 2024

I was inspired today to post about a new(ish) to me favorite tomato, Upstate Oxheart. I grew it for the first time in 2022 and again 2023. Of course growing it again this year. The fact that it's been invited back says a lot. For reference my staple tomatoes that I grow every year are Brandywine, Spudakee Purple, Cherokee Green, Armenian, Sungold, and Sprite. I'm always looking for a new favorite to add to my main grow every year tomatoes.

In 2022 it was a very dry year and I do water my plants. 2023 was very rainy! Both years Upstate Oxheart did well and produced tasty, large tomatoes. Most over a pound and sometimes over two pounds.

Advertised DTM 84 is days. In my garden last year first ripe came in at 63 days. Anyone else growing this one?
