There are about ten Black Krim tomato plants. This is my favorite tomato. It is a dark fleshed heritage type, which I grew from seed. It has a nice texture and certainly a strong tomato taste with a thin skin. I have found that all the dark skinned tomatoes are essentially the same; in fact, when grown side by side it is impossible to tell them apart. Many heritage types are distorted and cracked, this one is relatively nice shaped and devoid of serious deep grooves. It is also about palm sized.

I think that may be the same as 'noire de crimee' that I have, i.e. Crimean Black. I have had a few ripen of these!

I have grown different name types side by side and they all looked the same.

I grow Black Krim and Black Russian. Black Krim is larger and according to my OH better tasting. Black Russian also tends to split more easily and get leaf curl. For taste my OH says Black Cherry is very good, but seed is expensive
