Anna Russian Cuor di Beau, Oxheart Tomato Seeds
The ‘Anna Russian’ tomato is an early-maturing, indeterminate heirloom prized for its large, pinkish-red, heart-shaped (oxheart) fruits with distinctive green shoulders and a pointed blossom end. Fruits typically weigh 8–16 ounces and feature velvety, juicy, dense flesh with very few seeds, delivering an excellent sweet, rich, old-fashioned flavor that is naturally low in acidity. Although the plant’s wispy, finely cut foliage may appear delicate or even unhealthy, it is normal for this variety; the vigorous vines are highly productive, producing heavy yields in clusters of two to three fruits, especially impressive for an early-season tomato. Maturing in approximately 65–85 days from transplant, Anna Russian performs reliably and is well suited for fresh eating—particularly sandwiches—as well as canning thanks to its meaty texture. Originally brought from Russia to Oregon, this variety was introduced to the Seed Savers Exchange in 1989 by Craig LeHoullier.
