Orange Oxheart, Orange Strawberry or Verna Orange?

[Linda10]

I have seeds for 3 orange heart-shaped varieties that I wanted to compare this year. Now I find I have to severly limit my original garden space and can only grow one of them.

To those who have tasted all 3, which one would you rank as best in taste? Which one would you definitely leave out?

I haven't grown Orange Oxheart, probably for a trivial reason, but years ago when I grew the generic Red and Pink Oxhearts I wasn't impressed compared with growing specifically named ones.

Between Verna Orange and Orange Strawberry I didn't like the taste of Verna Orange, you may differ, so Orange Strawberry would be my pick, but note that for some the flesh can be quite dry, but the taste is good.

I like Orange Strawberry, it's a good tomato. Have grown Orange Oxheart too, but Orange Strawberry was the better of the two.

Well, I guess that makes the choice Orange Strawberry. Thank you both for making it so easy. I'm not the best at making choices to cut tomatoes.

For me it is hands down Orange strawberry - more productive - nice flavor etc - only drawback is it doesn't hold well so pick and eat when ripe
