Carbon Heirloom Tomato
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.
