An heirloom oxheart variety sent to Craig LeHoullier in 1989 from Brenda Hillenius, of Oregon, who got the seeds from her grandfather, Kenneth Wilcox, who received seeds from a Russian immigrant. Craig LeHoullier introduced it to the SSE Yearbook in 1989.
An excellent, gorgeous tomato. Early maturing for a heart-shaped tomato, the large, visually beautiful, pink-red fruit normally weighs about 14-16 oz. Superb rich old-fashioned, tomato flavors with lots of juice.
