Tomato 'Black Krim'

A$5.25

Solanum lycopersicum

Dark red – purple fruits with a rich, balanced sweet flavour – ‘Black Krim’ is one of the best.

  • Mid- late season

  • Balanced sweetness and acidity

  • Smokey, earthy flavour

  • Dark red fruit with a deep plum shoulder/shine

  • Indeterminate

  • 300-400gram fruit

The Russian heirloom always places highly in taste test trials, receiving 9-10 for flavour and texture! The glow of the internal rich, red colour is as appealing as the depth of flavour - described as robust, rich, earthy, smokey, one chef noted, “it is the balance between the sweetness and the acidity that makes this a good tomato. The smokey, earthy flavour and the amazing texture and colour make it a GREAT tomato.” A heavy cropping variety, ‘Black Krim’ is one of the most popular varieties of black heirlooms.

TRANSPLANT (recommended) – Start transplants 5- 6 weeks before planting date. Sow seeds 6mm deep, 4 seeds/2.5cm. Lightly cover. Keep mix at 23-28°C. Pot up into 5cm or larger cells after first set of true leaves appear. For growing transplants, maintain temperature at around 22°C during the day and 18°C at night

Harden off plants by slightly reducing temperature to 15-18°C and reducing water for 2-3 days before transplanting.

NOTE - Don't start too early—leggy, root-bound, or flowering transplants can cause stunting and reduce early production. Avoid exposing unprotected plants to consecutive nightly temperatures below 7°C.
