The Black Plum Tomato is a Russian commercial variety. Tons of sweet, elongated, mahogany-hued, fat fruits with the most intense, complex tomato flavor we've found; deep, rich, smoky sweetness, with a tangy aftertaste.

Thick walled with lots of meat, they are wonderful for fresh eating, or sliced into a salad. Also makes a memorable sauce with its complex, lingering flavors.

A great canning or drying tomato.

Consistently prolific producer of 3" dark mahogany, plum shaped tomatoes which get "blacker" in hot, sunny conditions.

Unusual Russian heirloom. Does well in cool climates, but will not turn as black.

Indeterminate.

75-82 Days.

Approx 45 seeds per pack

Planting Instructions

Indoors: 5 - 7 weeks before last frost sow 1/4" deep and keep soil evenly moist at 60- 70 degrees F. When the second set of leaves appears, transplant seedlings to individual pots.

Harden off 2 weeks before setting out, when weather is fully warm, in a spot with at least 8 hours of sun daily. Plant seedlings up to 2" under the first leaves, at least 3' apart. Water deeply and well in dry weather.

Outdoors: Sow as above, directly in site when weather is warm.
