Tomato 'Black Prince'

An outstanding juicy heirloom tomato with warm, rich colors and robust, full-bodied flavor. Originally introduced in Russia, this tall plant produces quite well in cooler regions. Medium-sized fruit reach approximately 2 inches across with mahogany skin, green shoulders and green and red striped flesh.

Plant in full sun in soil that has been amended with compost and a good organic fertilizer that is not too high in nitrogen. Space plants 3 feet apart. Support these 5-6 foot tall, heavily bearing plants with a sturdy tomato cage.

Harvest when fruits are slightly soft to the touch, fully colored up. They are beautiful in large slices on a plate sprinkled with fresh herbs, olive oil and vinegar.
