Wow!!

I just love the ribbing or fluting if you will on this.
The point end makes this variety really stand out in my opinion.
Fantastic looking indeed!
Please tell us how it tastes yes?

Very nice! My Cuor di Bue fruits are still babies, all with perfect heart shape, but there are quite a few of them. I can't wait to see how they turn out.

So now you need to grow MORE red heart varieties to see how they stack up against Cuor di Bui, which I've also grown.

Why seeds from France when it's an Italian variety? OK, I understand, at least I think I do.

There's a lot of terrific red heart varieties out there and although I could list some of my faves you might want to go to Tania's data base and pull up the list of heart varieties, which ever is easier for you .

There's also a couple of threads here at Tville about heart varieties with LOTS of suggested ones to grow.

What I'm saying is that the more varieties we grow the better it is to do that so each of us has our own data base to work from, if that makes sense.
And I'm glad you dolike that variety.

Since Carolyn mentioned it here, here is the report at Tatoana's TOMATObase that lists all heart-shaped varieties by color:

There are some other (hopefully) useful reports here:http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Reports

Beautiful fruit, this variety is one I have to try next year.

This is the first year I've encorporated more than a few token heart types, and I must say I'm impressed with many of them so far.
