The 'Red Heart' tomato is a tall, mid-season domestic variety characterized by its original heart-shaped fruits with ridged, slightly ribbed contours. The fruits are large, weighing from 200 to 750 grams, sometimes reaching over 900 grams, with a smooth, bright pink color without green shoulders. The flesh is dense, low-seeded, juicy, and sweet, with a rich tomato flavor and delicate aroma, making these tomatoes especially appealing for fresh consumption and summer salads.
The plant is indeterminate, strong, with dark green leaves and simple clusters containing 3 to 6 fruits. Plants can be trained into one, two, or three stems, without affecting the size or number of fruits per cluster. This tomato variety boasts high yield and the ability to withstand heavy fruit load, with clusters weighing up to 2.5-3 kg. The variety tolerates heat well and exhibits a prolonged fruiting period, allowing you to enjoy fresh and tasty fruits for a long time.
'Red Heart' can be grown both in greenhouses and in open ground in southern regions. The plant is sun-loving, requires staking to stakes, and regular removal of suckers for bush formation. Sowing for seedlings is recommended in March, transplanting — at the first true leaf stage, and planting in greenhouses — early May with an optimal spacing of 40x60 cm. This variety is rightfully considered one of the best heart-shaped tomatoes due to its decorative appeal, flavor qualities, and high yield.
