Giant Black Beauty Tomato

Product Description

We love these luminescent slicers ripening from bright plum to rich, velvety black blushing brick red as they soften, ripening fully with rich heirloom flavor.

We’ve never seen a tomato with so many anthocyanin pigments! This tomato breed is black and pink on the outside, with exceptionally deep red flesh that's sweet/slightly acidic and luscious. Fruit is modest beefsteak-type slicer, weighing up to 8 ounces, and the flavor is as good as its outstanding antioxidant content! It's great for canning, salads, or burgers. It is extremely meaty, making it amazing for canning.

• The flavor of organic Black Beauty tomato deepens after ripe fruits rest on your counter for a week.
• Variety value: original fruit color, excellent taste, long fruiting period. Despite its thin skin, it can be stored well (about a month). Recommended for fresh consumption.
• Black-fruited tomatoes is a time-tested aphrodisiac for men.

Planting instructions

Seed Depth: 1/8 inch      Days to Germination: 7-10 at 80°F (27°C)

Sowing and seedling care: Don’t start too early! Sow indoors 2 seeds/cell or soil block, & thin to 1. We recommend sowing on a heat mat at 80°F to emergence, 75°F after. Good light is essential: Younger, less stressed seedlings are healthier and more abundant than older, more stressed seedlings. Pot up to 3-4” pots when first true leaves, submerging 3/4 of the stem below soil.

When to transplant: Harden off & transplant outdoors after frost, again burying stem, and trellis.  Water soil, not leaves. Prune lowest stem “suckers” as they emerge.

Transplant Spacing:  2.5 feet    Sun Needs: Full

Days to Harvest: 70-80

Harvest: Indeterminate. Let ripe fruits ripen even further for several days on your counter for richest flavor.
