An heirloom tomato from Siberia, with a dark mahogany-red skin, juicy flesh, and smoky notes.

What I like about Black Prince is its rich flavor with slightly smoky notes, highly sought after in dark tomatoes. Its medium-sized, round tomatoes have dark mahogany-red skin with green shoulders. The flesh is juicy and aromatic. They are ideal for salads and sandwiches.

Originally from Siberia, Russia, this heirloom variety is appreciated for its early maturity. Productive and easy to grow, it produces fruit throughout the season.

Every variety has its own personality. The best tomato isn’t the one that everyone likes, but the one that finds its place in your garden, your kitchen, and your habits.
