Black tomato choices, need help

SharonRossy · February 22, 2014

So today I am going over the seeds that I want to germinate and when it comes to the blacks, I am stuck.
Last year I grew Black Krim and it wasn't great. Mind you, last year was a challenge. I decided to try Cherokee Purple and will grow Black from Tula again. I also have seeds from the dwarf variety - Perth Pride.
Any opinions are welcome. I found that the blacks in general did not hold up well once harvested. I did not let them ripen on the stem for the most part because of squirrel issues.
Thanks,
Sharon
