Black Krim Beefsteak Tomato
Growing Black Krim Beefsteak Tomato
‘Black Krim’ is a Russian heirloom tomato prized for its dramatic dark coloring, heavy yields, and complex flavor. Beefsteak-size fruits develop shades of violet, brown, and purple-red that can become almost black when exposed to strong sun and heat.
Start ‘Black Krim’ 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 thrives through warm summer conditions.
Ready to harvest in about 80 days, pick fruits once they reach full size and develop their mature dark coloring.
Rich, sweet, and subtly salty, ‘Black Krim’ is excellent for fresh eating and slicing.
