Solanum Lycopersicum 'Black Cherry' (Black Cherry Tomato) is a vigorous, high-yielding heirloom tomato variety prized for its clusters of small, round fruit with a distinctive deep mahogany-brown to dusky purple-black colour. The cherry-sized tomatoes have a rich, sweet and complex flavour, making them ideal for fresh eating, salads, lunchboxes and summer dishes. Its attractive dark fruit and abundant production make it a standout addition to the home vegetable garden.

An indeterminate climbing variety, Solanum Lycopersicum 'Black Cherry' (Black Cherry Tomato) performs best in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. The vigorous vines benefit from staking or other support and can produce fruit over a long growing period. With its excellent flavour, striking fruit colour and generous yields, this is an excellent choice for gardeners looking for a productive and gourmet cherry tomato for garden beds or large containers.
