Black Prince tomatoes are a unique Siberian heirloom variety prized for their rich, earthy flavor and beautiful dark color. These small to medium-sized fruits ripen to a deep mahogany-brown with red undertones and have a sweet, slightly tangy taste with a subtle smokiness. Perfect for slicing, salads, and fresh eating, Black Prince tomatoes bring a gourmet touch to any dish.
Growth Type: Indeterminate (vine variety)
As an indeterminate variety, Black Prince tomatoes will continue to grow and produce fruit throughout the season, offering a prolonged harvest of flavorful tomatoes.
Key Features:
- Heirloom Variety: Non-GMO and open-pollinated, perfect for seed saving.
- Distinctive Color: Mahogany-brown fruits with rich red hues.
- Flavorful: Balanced sweetness with a rich, earthy undertone and slight tang.
- Versatile: Great for fresh eating, slicing, and adding depth to salads and sauces.
Growing Instructions:
- Seed Starting: Start indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix and water from the bottom when possible.
- Transplanting: Move seedlings outdoors after frost danger has passed, spacing plants 24+ inches apart.
- Sunlight: Requires full sun (6-8 hours daily).
- Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but avoid overwatering. Water at the base to prevent wet foliage.
- Support: Use sturdy stakes, cages, or trellises to support the vines as they grow.
- Harvesting: Pick when fruits are firm, yet slightly soft, and have developed their signature deep red-brown hue.
