Nyagous

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.

An open-pollinated black tomato that bears smooth, dusky fruit in clusters of six or more.

• Indeterminate vine. It keeps growing and setting fruit right up to frost, so plan on a tall stake or cage and regular pruning through the season.
• Mid-season timing, ripening around 70 to 80 days from transplant.
• Generally forgiving and beginner-friendly to grow.
• Skins resist cracking, even after a heavy rain.
• One of our picks for the cold, short-season gardens of New England.
