Taiga Tomato

A true work of art in the garden, Taiga Tomato is a stunning oxheart variety bred for flavor and cool-season adaptability! Developed by independent breeder Karen Olivier of True North Seeds in Victoria, BC, this tomato is part of her True North series, selected for its striking bicolor appearance and outstanding taste.

Taiga’s marbled mix of brick red and green intensifies when sliced open, revealing vibrant streaks of deep red and green. Its meaty flesh, with few seeds, delivers a rich and complex flavor reminiscent of raisins and chocolate. Perfect for fresh eating, tomato sandwiches, or caprese salads—just add a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil for a gourmet experience.

Oxheart tomatoes have a unique look and growth habit, with potato-like leaves that twist and droop, giving the plant a sparse, willowy appearance. This is completely normal! For optimal production and sun protection, allow multiple main stems and avoid heavy pruning.

Grow Taiga Tomato for an eye-catching, intensely flavorful tomato that thrives in cool seasons!
