Tomato 'Black Cherry'

Solanum lycopersicum

• Rich, robust, deep, juicy flavour in 2-3cm purple-brown fruit.
• Vigorous vine produces large trusses loaded with 20gm fruits.
• Superb flavour - One of our chef’s taste test winners.
• Early-Mid Season, Indeterminant
• Vigorous, highly productive plants

We grew ‘Black Cherry’ in the polytunnels and the field. In our opinion, the exquisite flavour of the fruit combined with ease of pruning to a single or double leader, high yield, disease resilience and vigour of the plant made them worthy of the realestate space in the polytunnel and always a welcome addition for our CSA and restaurant clientele.

We trialled two hybrid black cherries that could not beat ‘Black Cherry’. We also know many other North American market growers who always include ‘Black Cherry’ in their tunnels.

Our stock seed has been selected for early production and disease resilience.

Developed by the late Vince Sapp, husband of Linda Sapp, who owns Tomato Growers Supply in Florida, USA, from a natural cross first released in 2003. The exact parentage of Black Cherry has not been shared.
