(AKA Dawson's Russian Oxheart) Created by gardening guru and seedsman, Jeff Dawson. I got my seeds from Jeff Dawson more than twenty years ago and this variety has been an exceptional producer of delicious fruit every year since. Orange Russian 117 is a beautiful cross between Russian 117 and Georgia Streak producing huge, 1-2 lb., heart-shaped, yellow-orange, bi-colored fruit with pink striping and yellow flesh with ribbons of scarlet-red inside. This is a fantastic meaty tomato with pronounced, complex, well-balanced, sweet flavors. Once you have tasted one of these you will most likely include it in your garden every year. RARE.
