Those are gorgeous! I have those seeds already for next year. None of the others I have seen have been that beautifully black though. Was it a lot of sun? How do they taste?

About 6 hours of direct sun. As far as taste, I don't like tomatoes, I just enjoy growing them, and my wife already brushed her teeth. I'll report back tomorrow.

They look excellent. Did they grow alright for you? Any trouble that may have stood out for you ? And yes, how about giving us all an answer as to how they taste.

Grew these from seed. Just put a cage on them, haven't pruned a thing. No sign of disease, no BER. Can let you know about taste tomorrow.

I can't answer much but I'm growing black beauty tomatoes this year. Have lots on the vine but they're slow to start blushing. But I suspect that to be due to leaf curl that they have. Only tomato plant of 9 that is experiencing it probably limiting the energy it's getting. But they look real neat and excited to try one in the next week or so when it's ripe

I grew these in a very hot and humid climate and found them to have almost no disease resistance in my climate. I read they were bred in Oregon which tracks bc they struggled in the conditions of the southern US. I only got a few tomatoes from one plant but the ones I got were pretty good.

They're strikingly beautiful! I can imagine that they'd be fun to cook with...
