Queen of the Night

Queen of the Night Tomato is a premium heirloom black tomato known for its rich, complex flavour and dramatic multi-toned fruit colouring. This German variety produces round salad tomatoes brushed with tones of ebony, crimson, and orange, with stunning deep vermillion flesh inside.

Plants are indeterminate with a somewhat compact vine compared to many heirlooms, typically reaching about 150-165 cm (5-5.5 ft) while still producing heavily through the season.
