Historic Heirloom with Gourmet Flavor: Black Krim delivers a rich, earthy tomato taste with a hint of saltiness and smoke, making it a standout among heirlooms. Its heritage traces back to Crimea, where it was first discovered by a Swedish traveler.
Large, Distinctive Fruits: Produces 8–12 oz. flattened globe-shaped tomatoes with deep crimson to purple-black skin and green shoulders. These meaty beefsteak fruits offer a bold color contrast and a visually stunning addition to your harvest.
Continuous Harvest All Season: As an indeterminate variety, Black Krim plants continue to produce throughout the growing season, making them ideal for gardeners seeking steady yields of flavorful tomatoes.
Sturdy Support Required: Due to the weight of the fruit, plants benefit from strong staking or caging. The vigorous vines and thick stems help support a bountiful harvest, but additional structure ensures healthy growth and ease of picking.
Easy Growing Instructions: Start seeds indoors 5–6 weeks before your last expected frost. Transplant outdoors once frost danger has passed and nighttime temperatures stay above 55°F. Space plants 2 to 2½ feet apart and use row covers to protect seedlings from unexpected late frosts.
