50 Seeds Black Tomato Solanum lycopersicum Dark Fruit Heirloom
Black Tomato is a distinctive dark-fruited tomato variety prized for its rich, deep color and balanced, sweet-tart flavor. The plants produce clusters of nearly black, mahogany-tinged fruits that stand out in the garden and on the plate, offering a striking alternative to standard red tomatoes. These seeds are a dependable choice for gardeners seeking a colorful, flavorful addition to their summer harvest.
The dark fruits are excellent for fresh eating, slicing into salads, and adding depth to sauces and salsas. Plants grow vigorously and set fruit through the season under warm, sunny conditions. Whether grown in beds, containers, or greenhouses, this variety rewards consistent watering and full sun with a generous yield of uniquely colored tomatoes.
