Black Krim is a tomato that originated from Crimea, a peninsula in the Black Sea. It is a favorite of chefs everywhere. It places very highly in tomato tasting and tomato trials.
The indeterminate vine bears medium-sized, 8-ounce fruits. Once ripe, the tomato is soft to the touch with olive-colored shoulders. This plant had fairly good disease resistance and is fending off blight in our garden.
Ripe fruit can also be marooned-colored, so watch them carefully as they begin to ripen.
I have noticed the fruits are also blushing pink when they are ripe. They bruise easily so be careful when harvesting.
Black Krim resemble Cherokee Purple, but they are a smaller beefsteak tomato. See Black Krim circled next to the Cherokee Purples.
