Midnight Sun Tomato
Just when you thought you saw it all, Karen Olivier has produced a line of potato leafed oxhearts that will totally blow your mind. There are NO oxhearts, especially potato leafed varieties, that are as beautiful as hers! Midnight Sun tomato is a 5, to perhaps 10 ounce oxheart, that are produced on wispy, potato leafed plants. These, as all of Karen’s varieties were bred in Canada, and are all suitable for northern gardens! Plants grew taller than 6 feet and always looked healthy. Staking was absolutely necessary from the very beginning because these are truly wispy vines! Taste is superb and delightful when fully ripened. This one has a rich finish, while having a full tomato experience. I would totally recommend these to chefs, or anyone wanting to plate some very beautiful colors. Midnight Sun started ripening about 75 days after transplant. Have a look at our pictures, delightful! These are a must grow!

These are awesome. The plants look like they will croak right up until they start producing. Until they are big and established they don’t like the really hot days and seem to wilt. Support them well and don’t panic if they look not so good as seedlings and early in the season. They produce long into the season. My brother in Virginia picked tomatoes in early November. They have few seeds and I like the flavor. My largest was 1 # 5 oz.

Midnignt Sun tomato and also Taiga and True Colors all have the same wispy potato leaf growth habit, but they are hard working plants that will produce for you! I love all of Karen Olivier’s varieties.

I really like this tomato. It’s huge and sweet tasting. I grew two plants in two different locations and they both are doing really well. We planted them out May 23th, just after the last frost date for our area, and got the first tomatoes in early August. They started a bit slowly and then ramped up production. Now in early September we’re getting lots of enormous, beautiful tomatoes. My daughter likes the taste fresh and I like that it doesn’t take many of these to fill a sauce pan. These wispy plants were the fainting Victorian maidens of our garden all the way up to the point when they started producing bunches of awesome fruit. They’re healthy even when they look like a stiff breeze might take them out. We just let them be and they rewarded us with really big, tasty tomatoes.
