I live in Pennsylvania zone 6B, I just picked my first tomato’s from my plants and ate on a sandwich, so very delicious! The tomatoes are meaty with few seeds, outstanding flavor and the plants are loaded with fruit. I am looking forward to making sauce and other items from my harvest. My only regret is that I didn’t plant more than 3 of these plant's. I grow in containers and my plants are currently 5 feet tall. They are staked and have a flat trellis for additional support. This is working well for keeping these plants upright and allowing the bees to quickly pollinate all my flowers. Definately, give these a try in your garden. You will be so grateful you did.
Cuor di Bue is an outstanding multi-purpose tomato. I live in zone 8b. I started Cuor de Bue, indoors, on Valentines Day. Starts were moved to raised beds May 1st. I started harvesting the first flush of large tomatoes the third week of July. Excellent quality. The plants are have an excellent second flush so there will be tomatoes through September. Highly recommended.
Spring/Early Summer 2022 Northern Willamette Valley was cloudy, cold, and damp. Been a tough year for most of the vegetables we planted, but this tomato has plowed through the lousy weather and is producing ripe fruit the first week of August. The yield is heavy, and I've had almost no blossom end rot . Great multi-purpose tomato that ripens faster than you might think.
I live in the Northern Willamette Valley, about 18 miles south of Portland, OR. This summer, 2017, I grew 6 different varieties of tomato in Grass Roots Fabric Pots (Sacramento, CA). All of the plants grew well in the fabric pots; however, due to the pots breathability, I had to water more than I would have liked. This resulted in a severe case of blossom end rot on all of the tomatoes EXCEPT Cuor di Bue. The Cuor di Bue was productive, producing an early crop of high quality 4-6 oz fruit that did was not subject to blossom end rot. The flavor of Cuor di Bue was excellent. I will grow this variety again... Very pleased
I had these in the garden this past summer and could not be happier. They are juicy, meaty and the best taste ever. I also liked the very small seeds and the small amount of seeds. Everyone I gave them to loved them and was sad when the growing season was over. Try them, you will love them/
