Excellent flavor that is extremely sweet and complex. This large 12 oz. heirloom tomato has a dusky rose and purple color. A reliable early tomato and heat tolerant.

History: In 1990, an unnamed variety of seeds were sent to Craig LeHoullier by John D. Green of Sevierville, TN. A letter with the seeds described that Mr. Green got the variety from a woman who, in turn, received them from her neighbor that claimed that they had been in their family for 100 years originally receiving them from Cherokee Indians.

Love these meaty tomatoes!

We grow these Black Krim tomatoes every year from your seed, they're super tasty and have meaty flesh. Great for Caprese Salad or even for making marinara sauce. The color is gorgeous when you cut into these beasts.
