Description

Also called 'Black of Crimea' or 'Noire de Crimée' is an old French variety believed to be originally from the Crimean Peninsula of Ukraine. Forms purple-reddish-brown colored, flat-round, ribbed flesh tomatoes with green shoulders. Fruits grow up to 350 g in weight. Thin skin and soft, sweet-juicy, very aromatic flesh. The taste is typical of so-called black tomatoes and is very aromatic, spicy and slightly smoky. Good for soups and sauces. Grows only about 1.5 m tall. Robust and insensitive to dryness. Old and late variety that often takes more than 75 days to ripen after pollination.

Growing tips

Germination: Ideally above 20 °C, 10 - 14 days. Sowing depth: 0.2-0.5 cm. Requires plenty of water and nutrients, provide a climbing support directly when planting out. Best protected and covered, as it is not burst-resistant. Pinch out and tie up regularly.
