Black version of Brandywine this one is an excellent combination of sweetness and the acidity of the darker colored tomatoes. We love that strong tomato flavor and one slice will almost cover a whole sandwich. 12-16 oz. fruits bear on large vines and are delicious. A truly beautiful tomato. 80 days

Beautiful 1 1/2" diameter dark black 3-4 oz. fruits with green stripes give this tomato a full, complex flavor.

Dark Black Heirloom with a full, earthy, smoky flavor that rivals Black Brandywine and other black tomatoes for quality but is shaped nice and round without much stem end gouging and cracking and has a perfect texture.

Cherokee Purple**
Cherokee Purple**    Next Available: 12/1/2010
The best tomato we have ever tasted! This tomato will convince you to grow Heirloom varieties. They are from the Tennessee Cherokee Indians, discovered over 100 years ago and have a thin skin and soft texture. When fully ripened they have dark reddish-purple color, full acidity and rich, old fashioned, sweet flavor. Make sure to mulch for best results and hold back on the watering. Our best results were during a 8 week drought with minimal drip watering. 80 days

Chocolate Stripes**
Chocolate Stripes**    Next Available: 12/1/2010
Dark red, almost brown color with striking green-gold stripes, this Chocolate Stripes Heirloom tomato is robust in flavor, with sweet notes and complex undertones. The whole tomato is a beauty too--a medium-large globe that is a dark, chocolaty red with green stripes. A big winner at Tomato Fest last year for flavor and color. Not only are they beautiful to look at, but the plant has some disease resistance, is a huge producer and fruit has perfect texture. Definitely has the sweetness of a black. Perfect balance of meatiness and juicyness. About 1 lb. fruits. Indeterminate 80 days
