Black Krim

The Black Krim (Solanum lycopersicum) (also known as Black Crimea and Noire de Crimée) is an heirloom tomato originating from Crimea. The plant is open-pollinated, indeterminate, bearing 250 gram flattened globe fruits with a diameter around 8–12 centimeters (3.1–4.7 in). The unique color of the berry are dark reddish-purple to black in sunny conditions with green/brown shoulders. The plant can grow up to 180 centimeters in height if it is in a greenhouse and slightly less if outside. The berry is described tasting as "Intense, with a sweetness that is balanced out by the acidity".

The Black Krim is named after the Isle of Krim; In 1990 it became the first "black" tomato to be commercially available in the United States and is popular on the west coast for its flavorful yet well balanced taste.
