BLACK KRIM
75 Days. Aka Black Crim, this superb Russian Heirloom hails originally from the Isle of Krim in the Black Sea. A rare variety yielding 3-4” slightly flattened mahogany-colored beefsteak fruits with deep green shoulders. Exceptional intense smokey/slightly-salty flavors. Indeterminate.
I have had other people tell me about Black Crim and I think it is Jerry Baker’s favorite of all the heirlooms he sells at Baker Creek Seeds. We have to buy our good tomatoes at the Farmers Markets because our summer temps are too cool and too much dampness. Our favorite large tomato is Cherokee Purple and a small tomato that looks a lot like the Black Crim but smaller...
Black Krim...yummy, yummy, yummy. I started growing several blacks last year; Black Cherry, Black Plum, Paul Robeson; all outstanding. Added Black from Tula and Japanese Black Trifele this year...thumbs up, WAY up for black tomatoes.
