(Indeterminate/75 days)

Black Cherry Tomato is an heirloom that is unique both in terms of taste and appearance. Large sprawling plants produce tons of clusters of dark burgundy, brownish, 1 ½ inch fruit that have a sweet and complex flavor. This not so common variety is a good conversation starter, friend maker, and treat for the kids.

Planting Instructions - Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost date. Do not Plant out until 2 weeks after last frost. Tomato seeds require high soil temperatures for good germination rates. We highly recommend heat mats to ensure and speed up germination. Pot up to 3–4 inch pots when first true leaves develop (not cotyledon leaves). Harden off plants for 1-2 weeks in full sun before transplanting them outside (after last frost). Make sure to give tomato plants a lot of space for vigorous root and foliage growth.
