Tomato Black Russian

For those seeking something a little deeper in both colour and flavour, Tomato Black Russian delivers in spades. This early to mid-season staking variety stands out with its globe-shaped fruit, dusky skin, and trademark green shoulders. As it ripens, the flesh develops a rich, almost charcoal tone, an indicator of the complex taste that awaits inside.

This variety isn’t just beautiful, it’s packed with flavour. Each tomato offers a full-bodied, juicy bite that works just as well fresh as it does cooked. Interestingly, the dark skin helps the fruit stay under the radar of birds, giving gardeners a better chance at harvesting every last one.

Tomato Black Russian prefers a sunny, sheltered spot and does well in large pots or open ground. With regular staking and watering, it produces reliably and generously. If you enjoy growing tomatoes with real character, and even more personality on the plate, this one is worth a space in your garden.
