Black Beauty Tomato
Indeterminate
70-80 days to harvest from transplant
Solanum lycopersicum
HEIRLOOM We love these luminescent slicers ripening from bright plum to rich, velvety black blushing brick red as they soften, ripening fully with rich heirloom flavor.
We’ve never seen a tomato with so many anthocyanin pigments!
The flavor of organic Black Beauty tomato deepens after ripe fruits rest on your counter for a week — we’re not sure why, we just know it’s sooOOooOooooo worth it
Organic Black Beauty Tomato
Planting Method: Transplant Only
When to sow: 6-8 weeks before last frost
Seed Depth: 1/8 inch Days to Germination: 7-10 at 80°F (27°C)
Sowing and seedling care: Don’t start too early! Sow indoors 2 seeds/cell or soil block, & thin to 1. We recommend sowing on a heat mat at 80°F to emergence, 75°F after. Good light is essential: Younger, less stressed seedlings are healthier and more abundant than older, more stressed seedlings. Pot up to 3-4” pots when first true leaves, submerging 3/4 of the stem below soil.
When to transplant: Harden off & transplant outdoors after frost, again burying stem, and trellis. Water soil, not leaves. Prune lowest stem “suckers” as they emerge.
Transplant Spacing: 2.5 feet Sun Needs: Full
Days to Harvest: 70-80
Harvest: Indeterminate. Let ripe fruits ripen even further for several days on your counter for richest flavor.
