100 Seeds Black Pearl Cherry Tomato Solanum lycopersicum Dark Cherry

Black Pearl Cherry Tomato is a distinctive open-pollinated cherry tomato variety recognized for its deep, dark fruit that ripens to a rich purple-black while retaining a slight reddish undertone at full maturity. The small round cherries are produced in generous clusters on vigorous indeterminate vines, offering a striking contrast of color against the green foliage and making a decorative addition to any vegetable garden or patio container.
Grown primarily for fresh eating, the fruits bring a balanced sweet-tart flavor to salads, salsas, and snacks, and their unusual coloring makes a dramatic garnish. Indeterminate plants continue to set fruit through the season until frost, rewarding consistent harvesting. Provide support such as stakes or cages, keep moisture even, and harvest when fruits deepen in color and release easily from the stem.
