TOMATO – BLACK KRIM

TOMATO – BLACK KRIM

Lycopersicon esculentum

The Black Krim Heritage Tomato Plant is one of the most unique tomatoes. It has a deep, dark red color that looks almost black & a deep reddish-green interior color. It will produce under poor conditions, & is the most reliable of the black tomato plants. Black Krim is an early-producing, flavourful tomato from the Crimean Peninsula of Ukraine. The taste is rich & earthy, almost smoky. Fruit is beefsteak sized & sets well in heat.

Sow in a good mix of soil and lightly cover. Keep moist but not wet. Transplant when seedlings achieve 4-6 leaves. Plant each tomato seedling so that only the top pair of leaves appear above the soil. The stem and leaves buried in the soil will develop roots, making the plant stronger & able to rapidly absorb water and nutrients.
