Black Cherry

Black Cherry is a highly sought-after heirloom cherry tomato known for its deep dusky purple-brown colour and rich, complex 'black tomato' flavour. This variety produces abundant clusters of small, glossy fruits with a sweet, smoky taste that makes it a favourite for fresh eating and market sales.
