Black Cherry, Heirloom Tomato Seeds

Black Cherry, Heirloom Tomato Seeds — The Dark, Complex Cherry Tomato With Exceptional Flavor

Black Cherry is the cherry tomato that serious tomato growers reach for when they want something more than sweet. These 1-inch, round, dark mahogany-red fruits have a rich, complex flavor — sweet and fruity with a depth and earthiness that sets them apart from every other cherry tomato in the garden. Prolific indeterminate vines produce abundant clusters of these jewel-like fruits from midsummer through frost, making Black Cherry one of the most rewarding cherry tomatoes to grow.

An open-pollinated heirloom that has earned a devoted following among chefs, farmers market vendors, and home gardeners who know that color and complexity go hand in hand.
