About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
A dark flesh tomato from the Crimean Peninsula, ‚Black Krim’, the fruits turn brown‑violet under sun with green shoulders and develop a typical deep, almost salty‑smoky aroma. It grows strong and needs a warm, sheltered spot, ideally under a roof, because like most old varieties it is not equipped against brown rot. You should harvest only when the shoulders give slightly and the color has become rich. It is self‑seeding and good for your own seed.
You will find it complex and hearty, with a dark sweetness reminiscent of ripe plums, a tomato for those who like strong, atypical flavors.
