Solanum, Tomato Beefsteak (Pole) 'Black Krim' Heirloom

Description

The heirloom Black Krim tomato, originating on the Isle of Krim in the Black Sea region, is one of the oldest varieties of black tomatoes. Heat tolerant, with dark brown-red color and rich, somewhat salty flavor. Delicious sliced and drizzled with olive oil.

Start seeds indoors six to eight weeks before the last spring frost and transplant in late spring after nights have warmed. Sow outdoors in climates with 120 or more frost-free days. Germinates best at 75˚F. Plant in a sunny spot in rich, well-drained soil. Indeterminate. Ripen on the vine for best flavor. Vigorous 4-6′ vines require tall, sturdy stakes or trellises.

Lycopersicon lycopersicum
