Brads Black Heart

mobiledynamics · May 6, 2018

Never grown oxhearts until this year. Currently have wes and reif

Anyhow, decided to do some light reading and Brads Blackheart came across my search. I see a older thread on this but figured I'd start a new one. Anyone grow BBH recently. Would love to hear some feedback from the fellow tribemembers here ;-)

Above is the history, and yes I've grown it.

I’ve grown it every year, for several years now, evidence that I like it a lot.

Grown it several times, liked it each time.

I have grown it a couple years and really like it a lot. Only reason I didn't grow it this year was because I moved and didn't have time to start my own plants so had to buy what was available.

Beautiful and tasty black tomato in the shape of a heart. What else could you wish for?

I grew it for two seasons. I wasn't a fan. I found that in my garden they were quite soft. They were a bit mushy and not very flavorful. Better luck with yours.

I grew it last year and it was OK but - in my garden and weather conditions - could not compete with the taste and production of the other black/purple when ripe tomatoes.

It was good, but as you all know, I grew 109 varieties. It really wasn't in the top 20.

It's in my garden for the 3rd year in a row. Good production, good taste Mike
