Tomato 'Black Plum'

Black Krim is a prolific Russian heirloom tomato. The brownish-gray fruits are so sweet and meaty that some prefer Black Plum to Roma for making sauces. Also excellent when used in salads or for drying. Oval fruits average 2 to 4 oz., and turn a deep mahogany-brown color at maturity. One of our best yielding tomatoes for both fresh market and home use. Indeterminate

Plant in full sun in soil amended with compost and an organic fertilizer that is not too high in nitrogen. Support these large plants with tall tomato cages and space plants at least 3 feet apart.

Harvest when fruits are deep mahogany. The sugary sweet fruit are great eaten raw right out of the garden. They are also tasty in salads and even made into a pasta sauce. They are excellent sliced in half, sprinkled with herbs and oven dried.
