Growing Information

Growing Carbon Heirloom Tomato

‘Carbon’ is an heirloom tomato prized for its exceptionally dark coloring and rich, complex flavor. Large fruits develop dark purplish-brown exteriors with deep brick-red interiors and offer an intricate sweetness that has earned recognition in taste tests.

Start ‘Carbon’ indoors for transplanting. Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep, space plants 24 to 36 inches apart, and grow in full sun. This heat-tolerant variety performs especially well during warm weather.

Ready to harvest in about 80 days, pick fruits once they reach full size and develop their mature dark coloring.

Rich, sweet, and complex, ‘Carbon’ is excellent for fresh eating, slicing, salads, and sandwiches.

Growing well so far

This is the first year growing Carbon tomatoes. I started the seeds three weeks ago on a heated growing mat. I had nearly 100 percent germination. They are growing well so far and have their first set of leaves. Can't wait to taste them. I have grown it's offspring Cherokee Carbon for a few years now. It is the best tasting tomato we have ever grown. Curiosity caused me to try it's parent Carbon just to see the similarities. Tick tock tick tock, won't know that answer until July or August.
