A nearly black-purple cherry tomato with a balanced, aromatic flavor, featuring a hint of smokiness and fruity notes.

What I appreciate about Ron's Carbon Copy is the richness of its aromatic profile. Its beautiful dark purple, almost black fruits have a crisp and juicy texture. Their well-balanced flavor combines sweetness with a touch of acidity. The fruity aromas, accompanied by a hint of smokiness, add lovely depth to the tasting experience.

This indeterminate variety was developed by Ron Rhyne of Muskogee, Oklahoma. His goal was to create a cherry tomato as flavorful as Carbon. A success indeed!

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.
