Ratings & Reviews
Tomato- Black Cherry
Best tomatoes I've grown this season! Mine aren't as dark coloured as the pictures - they look more green (yes - even when ripe). But the flavour is amazing, quite sweet. The perfect snacking tomato. Germination was a little bit slow, but worth waiting for.
Tomato- Black CherryTomato- Black Cherry
These are big ‘cherry’ tomatoes!! Beautiful dark burgundy with faint green streaks, no pests and very sweet. My nephews pop them straight into their mouths like cherries!
