Tomato - Black Krim - Lycopersicon esculentum

Tender Annual Indeterminate. Heirloom. Hailing from Russia, Black Krim beefsteak gains more fans every year with its deep, slightly salty flavor. The plant produces 3"-4" fruits in dark red and green colors. A good choice for containers or small gardens.

Did You Know? This tomato is named for its home on the Isle of Krim in the Black Sea.

Before transplanting after the last frost, harden off the plants by placing them outdoors for a few hours to start, increasing the amount of time each day until they are accustomed to a full day of sunlight.

Harvesting and Storage: Harvest when fruits give slightly under finger pressure; the shoulders may not have changed color yet.

Best tasting tomatoes

These tomatoes have what I call a true tomato flavor. We enjoy growing heirlooms for their flavor and Black Krim always wins our taste tests. Early for our North Idaho cool summer nights and very abundant yields. Black Krim Tomatoes are not very pretty tomatoes, skin at top cracks, dusty rose color with green on top when ripe ( we have to squeeze them to see if they are soft and ready), and some are mis- shaped but you’ll love them when you taste them!
