Beautiful black cherries look like large, dusky purple-brown grapes; they have that rich flavor that makes black tomatoes famous. We’ve been growing this variety for over 10 years now and it’s always produced very well. It’s one of the largest cherry tomato varieties we have and the color is a unique addition to a rainbow mix. Our neighbor French Farms swears by this heat tolerant reliable cherry tomato and grows it as part of his cherry mix every year. Fruit can look a bit brownish instead of black or purple but don’t let that turn you off, the flavor is great and the plants are hearty and yield is high.
