Dotson's Lebanese Heart

Huge pink tomatoes with green shoulders are beautifully ridged and very tasty. Sweet and mild with no acidic taste. Fruit are slightly ribbed and somewhat flattened, meaty, juicy, and flavorful. Perfect for sandwiches, burgers, salads, and slicing. These are what most people imagine as an “heirloom” tomato with unusual, non-uniform shape. Indeterminate, vigorous, regular leaf plant produces good crops of very large, 1-2 lbs (450 – 900g), pink, irregularly-shaped beefsteak tomatoes. Fruits can reach to more than 3 lbs.(1360g) according to what I have read but I have not had any that large. (although it was a hot, dry year) Disease resistant. A Lebanese heirloom named and introduced in 1996 by Carolyn Male who obtained the seed from Omar Saab, who came to the US from Lebanon where his family grew this tomato.
