Tomato 'Amish red oxheart'

Amish red oxheart likes a position of full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Amish red oxheart is thought of as tender, so it is really important to plant out well after your last frost date. Ideally plant in loamy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.5 and 7.5 as Amish red oxheart likes to be in weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.

Start seeds indoors six weeks before last frost date.

Sow at a depth of approx. 0.78 inches (2.0 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 0.78 inches (2.0 cm) between Tomato plants. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 12°C / 54°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Amish red oxheart about 42 days before your last frost date.

Plant to the first set of true leaves to promote strong root growth.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Amish red oxheart is a tender plant.

This variety tends to be ready for harvesting by late summer.
