A rare variety of black tomato from the lower Ukraine known in Russia as "Czerno Tomat" that is not to be confused with the variety known as Black Russian. This is a truly beautiful Russian Tomato that produces a lovely small round to egg shaped tomato of a dark maroon color. 

This wonderful Russian tomato produces very early and very heavily throughout the season, producing a great abundance of excellent tomatoes with an exquisite taste and a very firm flesh. 

This was our #1 black tomato variety for the 2002 season! Our Russian Black seed is selected from only the strongest plants and the most outstanding individual tomatoes. Although a few other companies also offer the Russian Black Tomato, our seed is bred from our own Ukrainian imports! 

Excells in cold climates! 60 to 70 days. 

The Black Tula Tomato; known in Russia as "Czerno Tulski Tomat", is a beautiful dusky brown to mauve black colored beefsteak tomato with green shoulders that weighs up to 12 ounces in weight. Features an outstanding, salty flavor with a semi smoked taste that is unlike any other tomato out there! Indeterminate. About 75 days to maturity.

The Black Prince Tomato is known in Russia as "Czerno Prinz Tomat" and next to the Black Krim Tomato, this is among the most popular and best known of Black Tomatoes. This outstanding tomato variety was originally introduced from Irkutsk, Russia (in Siberia) some years ago and is typically regarded as a true Siberian tomato variety due to its outstanding qualities in northern climates. Although the Black Prince could be considered a rare heirloom tomato in the United States and the United Kingdom, this tomato is widely raised in Russia and is regularly sold commercially by some of the larger vegetable seed companies in Russia today. In fact, its cultivation is so widespread in Russia that of late, a company in Volgograd has begun the marketing of a product called "Black Prince Tomato Oil", which is an extract of the Black Prince Tomato. This product is now being widely applied in Russia's food, cosmetics, agricultural and pharmaceutical industries and has been tested to have a wide range of health benefits due to the abundance of lypocene in this Russian tomato. 

Black Prince produces an abundance of medium sized red-brown tomatoes with dark brown (black) shoulders that features a rich, juicy taste. In fact, in a recent tomato taste test performed by Country Living Magazine, the Black Prince Tomato ranked as the #8 tomato in their taste test. Black Prince is a great tomato for your northern garden this year! Indeterminate. Matures in about 70 days.

This rare variety was one of our top sellers earlier this year and is known in Russian as "Czerno Krimski" (Black Krim). Contrary to popular misconception on the part of most Tomato growers who believe that this variety is named after the Russian Crimea (Livadia), this variety hails from the Isle of Krim in the Black Sea off the coast of the Crimean peninsula. I have tried numerous strains of domestic Black Krims before finally settling on a strain that we imported from Western Russia, which is an outstanding strain.

Black Tomatoes have been super hot this year and this one is my best! This variety is a medium-large sized maroon beefsteak with green shoulders and an intense, unique taste! Ideal for slicing, salads and more. Due to their natural salty taste, sliced Black Krims do not require salting and only a hint of pepper, which makes them ideal if you can not have salt in your diet. The production of this variety is intense and it will do quite well in containers, but if not watered evenly during the summer, this variety is subject to splitting. About 75-80 days to maturity. 

The Paul Robeson Black Tomato, also known as the Pol Robeson Tomato, is a black tomato variety from Russia named after Paul Robeson who was a famous opera star and advocate of equal rights for Blacks. Paul Robeson was widely respected in the former Soviet Union for his operatic talents and equal rights work, so it should come as no surprise that one of the very finest black tomatoes ever developed in Russia would carry Paul Robeson's own name. Though this tomato is widely known throughout Russia, where it is mass produced commercially, the variety actually originated with a vegetable seed firm in Central Siberia. 

Later on, Paul Robeson Tomatoes were introduced to the United States. Ever since this wonderful black tomato variety took Grand Champion at Tomatofest in Carmel,California a number of years ago, the Paul Robeson Black Tomato has developed something of a cult following among serious tomato lovers and heirloom gardeners.

This lovely tomato variety yields an abundance of beautiful blackish-red tomatoes of a beefsteak shape in the 7 to 10 ounce range. Though Paul Robeson is not quite as large as some of our other black tomato varieties, what it lacks in size, it makes up for with its stunning beauty and most importantly, with its excellent taste. The Paul Robeson Black Tomato possesses an extraordinary, rich exotic flavor with a slight hint of smokiness not found in many other tomatoes.

Being an actual Siberian tomato, the Paul Robeson Black is an excellent cold climate tomato variety that possesses the right characteristics to set fruits at lower temperatures than other types of tomatoes. During 2003, we were able to subject this grand black tomato variety to a cold weather trial at our office located less than one mile from the coastline of the North Sea in Northeast Scotland. Needless to say, despite a season of driving winds, pounding rains, thick fog and very cool temperatures, this variety performed wonderfully enough that we do not hesitate to recommend it for our many customers in cold northern climates.

Indeterminate. Matures in 75 to 80 days.

The Nyagous Black Tomato is another very rare black tomato variety from Russia. This variety was originally introduced to the United States from the collection of the famous tomato enthusiast, Reinhard Kraft of Germany. Of late, Nyagous Black has become one of the more highly sought after Russian tomatoes by tomato lovers.

Nyagous produces wonderful globe shaped tomatoes in small clusters of 3 to 6 tomatoes each. The tomatoes produced by Nyagous have a very smooth, round shape which makes this an ideal tomato for market growers. Unlike many other black tomatoes, Nyagous Black is much less prone to cracking or cat-facing. The tomatoes are typically a dusky-red color (but lighter and darker variations do exist, ranging from typical red to a near black with an emerald green interior) with meaty flesh and possess a sweet, aromatic taste.

The Japanese Black Trifele Tomato (Estonian: Tomat Jaapani trüffel) is one among an entire family of so-called "Japanese Trifele" Tomatoes that are produced commercially in Russia today. Originally, a stock of  red pear shaped tomatoes were imported to the former Soviet Union which soon became popular. In fact, the variety became so popular that Russian seed breeders, in particular, BioTechnecia Seeds soon set their sites on creating other colors of Japanese Trifele Tomatoes. Currently, Japanese Trifele Tomatoes are offered in Russia in the following colors: Black, Orange, Yellow and Red. There is also a second Black variety (developed by NC Seeds) called "Must pirn" which has crinkly, black colored, pear shaped fruit that is closely related to the Black Trifele Tomatoes. In Russia, these varieties are found more among the highest end seed dealers and even with the Russian Federation's struggling economy, high prices are often fetched for Trifele Tomatoes.

Japanese Black Trifele features an absolutely wonderful flavor that possesses an extrordinairy richness. Unlike many other black varieties, the tomatoes yielded are blemish free and are not subject to cracking. Originally imported from Estonia.

Black Trifele is one of the very darkest black tomato varieties available.

Determinate. Potato leafed plants. About 80 days to maturity.
