A prolific and abundant cherry tomato variety. This is a fairly new introduction from Brad Gates of Wild Boar Farms. Indeterminate vines produce countless trusses of almost black cherry tomatoes. Where the sun is shaded from the fruit, berries will ripen to a deep chocolate red colour. Where the sun hits the fruit, the colour will deepen and become almost black, signifying the high anthocyanin content within.

Flavour is mildly sweet and acidic, a good balance. Fruit are split-resistant.

Growing Information:

Start tomato seeds indoors a minimum of 6 to 8 weeks before the final frost date. Please refer to my Seed Starting Calculator for specific planting dates for your planting area.

Tomatoes grow best in full sun and require consistent moisture, in order to avoid blossom end rot.

Transplant outdoors after all risk of frost has passed. Space your plants at least 2 to 3 feet apart, depending on how well you stake them. Stay on top of removing sucker stems.

Plants are indeterminate and require proper staking in order to support tall vines. Remove suckers to encourage growth of the main central stem.
