The listing, Heirloom ✽ GERMAN ORANGE STRAWBERRY ✽ Oxheart Tomato ✽ 15 Seeds ✽ Organic has ended.
The German Orange Strawberry was one of my favorite heirloom tomatoes of the season, producing beautiful strawberry-shaped, bright orange fruits. The gorgeous, meaty fruit has a sweet, rich, complex taste unlike most yellow and orange tomatoes. We enjoyed these as an orange marinara to go with Italian sausage. Yum!

This Auction: You will be receiving 15 seeds from my garden. They will be sent First Class mail for FREE in the United States. I only take Paypal for International bidders, I do combine any additional auction seeds (within 5 days) for no additional shipping charge.

Propagation Method: From seed, sow seeds indoors 6 weeks before last spring frost. Sow 2-3 seeds per pot and thin to one plant per container. After four weeks, transplant seedlings to larger pots, and about 10 days before the last spring frost, begin hardening the plants to the outdoors. Transplant your plants to a sunny, highly composted location when soil temperatures are at least 55 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Stake or cage the plants for support and to prevent sprawling on the ground.
