Black Cherry is an early indeterminate tomato with deep mahogany-red fruits and a rich, complex flavour. There is a smoky sweetness to these that you will not find in any red cherry variety. Highly productive and reliable, it keeps bearing fruit all season.
One of the best looking tomatoes you can grow. The dark colour stands out in a mixed tomato salad, and the flavour holds its own against any variety twice its size. Easy to grow in containers or in the ground.
