Introducing the Black Strawberry Tomato
The Black Strawberry tomato is a fantastic, sugar-sweet tomato flavor, that is fruity, with a hint of grape and plum flavors. If you relish the experience of digging into a bowl of high-quality cocktail tomatoes, then the Black Strawberry is your tomato. This 2-ounce fruit is marbled in purple, pink, green and gold.
This is an early variety and extremely productive. Not only beautiful but hearty and early-producing plants without sacrificing eating quality. This variety produces much diversity in color, and some plants may produce grape-shaped fruit. This is one of my favorite tomatoes for salads or snacks! Just watch out, they tend to explode in your mouth!
History of the Black Strawberry Tomato
Black Strawberry tomatoes are a variety that results from the crossing of Bosque Blue and Strawberry Tiger.
This is a plum-shaped fruit realized by J&L Gardens in New Mexico.
