Black Russian Tomato

Sold Out
£1.80
Brand: Kings Seeds
SKU: 5027559148460
This product is sold out

Description

 

Black Russian are dark, deep red to shiny black fruit with heavy green shoulders, looking almost like a conker. The flesh is deep reddish-green and has an unusual rich but sweet taste which has to be tasted to be believed. It is an early maturing indeterminate vine type best suited for indoor production. This tomato really does suit its mysterious name!

Pack size: 30 Seeds

WHEN TO SOW

January to April

WHERE TO SOW

Sow seeds underglass 0.5cm(1/4 in) deep in pots or trays of good seed sowing compost and lightly cover with a sprinkling of vermiculite or compost. Place containers in a propagator at a temperature of 18–21°C . 

WHAT TO DO NEXT

Prick out seedlings, once large enough to handle, into 9cm (3 1/2in) pots. Transplant to the greenhouse border soil, or individual large pots, or 3 plants per growbag when 20cm (8in) high. Can also be planted outdoors once all risk of frost has past. Plants require sideshooting and support for the best yields. Water and feed plants regularly with a high potash feed once the first truss has set.

MATURITY

July to October

HANDY TIP

As fruits are very heavy we suggest you only allow 3 or 4 trusses to develop per plant. Lower fruits can sometimes be irregular in shape but are still full of flavour.

NUTRITIONAL VALUES

Very high in vitamin C and lycopene.

TYPE

Indeterminate - single stem, remove side shoots.
