Flavor
Described as rich and well balanced with the smoky depth of a good black tomato, on smaller, cluster-borne fruit. This is the recurring catalog and grower description, not a measured claim.
Origin
An open-pollinated black tomato that bears smooth, dusky fruit in clusters of six or more.
What it does well
- Heavy clusters of smooth dark fruit
- Rich black-tomato flavor in a manageable size
- Crack resistant and productive
Where it frustrates
- Dark color makes ripeness hard to judge
- Indeterminate vines need staking
