Tomato - Black Krim Heirloom Seeds
Couldn't load pickup availability
Beautiful 10 oz. maroon fruits with green shoulders have a flavor that can't be beaten. A great prolific all-around tomato. It produces early and continues to produce until frost. Also, it is heat tolerant and very disease resistant.
The Black Krim tomato originates from the Isle of Krim in the Black Sea, near the Crimean Peninsula of Ukraine. It was introduced to the U.S. market in 1990 by Lars Olov Rosenstrom of Bromma, Sweden. This rare tomato is unrivaled in intense, rich, sweet, and juicy flavor. Sometimes it is described as smoky, mildly sweet, and slightly salty. If you've never grown or tasted a purple/brown tomato, this is the best choice!

Customer Reviews
We’re off to an inauspicious start. Only five out of the ten seeds germinated. I’ll revisit this review in August if I get a decent crop from these seedlings. Photo shows three of the five that sprouted. Two have been transplanted.
Great seeds. All of them germinated.
These are so beautiful, and very meaty and packed with flavor. I've been growing your Black Krim seeds for several years. Good germination, and true to seed.
I grow these every year in our garden, they are delicious and the most amazing rich color, especially when sliced!
