90 days. This famous tomato has almost a cult following among seed collectors and tomato connoisseurs. They simply cannot get enough of this variety's amazing flavor that is so distinctive, sweet and smokey. 7-10 oz. fruit are a black-brick color. Named in honor of the famous opera singer star of 'King Solomon's Mines', 1937. Paul Robeson was an equal rights advocate who stood up the the infamous McCarthy committee in the 1950's and had his career nearly destroyed as a result. He was idolized in Russia as well as all around the world. This Russian heirloom was lovingly named in his honor.
Indeterminate but in my garden very well behaved so I would say semi-indeterminate
Tomato – ‘Black Krim ‘
Black Krim is a very popular heirloom, my personal favourite! It originates from the Isle of Krim in the Black Sea. Great tasting and totally unique!
Tomato – ‘Carbon’
Highly recommended tomato! Carbon produce nice large beefsteak fruit that are beautiful, mostly blemish free and delicious! Fantastic whether eating fresh or making sauce. Winner of the 2005 “Heirloom Garden Show” best-tasting tomato award. These have won taste awards coast to coast in the last few years. The fruit is smooth, large, and beautiful, being one of the darkest and prettiest of the purple types we have seen. It seems to have an extra dose of the complex flavor that makes dark tomatoes famous."
"Rich, complex flavors made this variety the winner of a recent heirloom tomato taste testing at Cornell University."

Tomato – ‘Japanese Black Trifele ‘
If you have never grown this beauty then you are in for a treat! Gorgeous to look at and eat tomatoes are the shape and size of a Bartlett pear with a beautiful purplish-brick color, deepening to a burnished mahogany and finally to a darkened, nearly black base. The meaty interior has similar opulent shades and an incomparable, almost indescribably complex and rich flavor to match. The fruit are perfect and smooth with no cracks. The flavor is absolutely sublime, having all the richness of fine chocolate.
