Midnight Sun Heirloom Tomato Seeds – Rare Bicolor Oxheart, Large Fruiting, Open Pollinated Tomato Solanum lycopersicum Listing is for 1 packet of 15 seeds Midnight Sun is a breathtaking extra large heirloom oxheart tomato that's as stunning to look at as it is delicious to eat. When ripe, the fruits are slightly elongated golden-yellow hearts with subtle red marbling that deepens toward the blossom end — and slicing one open reveals a vibrant red-streaked interior. These impressive fruits can weigh anywhere from 13 ounces to over a pound, are nearly seedless, and offer a flavor profile that is fruity, rich, and complex — with an almost peachy sweetness and meaty yet juicy texture. An indeterminate variety maturing in approximately 80 days from transplant, Midnight Sun plants can exceed 6 feet tall and require staking from early on due to their willowy, potato-leafed vines, and heavy fruit set. Whether sliced fresh into a salad, showcased on a cheese board, or cooked down into vibrant sauces, Midnight Sun's size, minimal seeds, and show-stopping appearance make it a favorite of home gardeners, market growers, and chefs alike.

If you notice powdery mildew, yellow spots, or black lesions on the stems, spray with 1 cup of 3% hydrogen peroxide per gallon of water to clean and disinfect. Repeat every 3 to 5 days until you notice the spread has stopped. If a lot of rain is expected, pre-treatment will help to prevent diseases. For severe leaf diseases use a stronger treatment like Monteray Disease Control. Common Pests: The most common pest when growing tomatoes are aphids, mealy bugs, spider mites, and worms (like the tomato horn worm or army worms). All of these can be treated with spinosad.
