Negro_Gigante

Starlight · April 13, 2015

I just received some of these seeds from a friend overseas. Negro-Gigante is the name on the package. The seeds are tiny, so I am thinking is might be some sort of cherry tomato, but I don't know if seed size equals tomato size or not.

I tried to google the name hoping I would find something in Tatianna's database, but I didn't.

Does anybody know anything about this tomato or has anybody grown it before?

When I googled I saw Negro Gigante seeds , no pics and also on the same page Negro Black Krim Gigante seeds. Are they the same thing?

I'm confused. Is there a tomato just called Negro_Gigante?

From what I saw online here in Germany is it is a medium black weighing 200-300 grams.

Thank you very much Ami for that information.

That is more than what I had to go on. Gotta love all these new tomato types and names. I can't wait til it is picking time to see what they all look and taste like.

It very well could. I know that there are a couple of other tomatoes that have Negro as a first part of their name from when I was hunting for mine and came across this link here at TV from google.

Opps.

Sorry about that. Corrected the link. Should be titled Negro Tegurta.
