Chocolate Cherry Midseason
Regular Leaf
Aaron Whaley’s (Seed Savers Exchange) lofty goal for this tomato was to make a plant superior and more uniform than Black Cherry. I found Chocolate Cherry to be not quite as rich in taste as Black Cherry but it had a slightly sweeter taste. In addition, Chocolate Cherry fruit are much larger than Black Cherry. It really is a toss-up as to which of the two black cherry tomatoes tastes the best.
Ciligia Nano
NEW
Early Midseason
Regular Leaf
Determinate
Ciliegia means cherry and nano means dwarf. It has been reported that this Italian variety is from the island of Sicily. Large, 1.5 - 2.5 cm, (3/5” - 1”) that weigh 18 - 23g (.6 - .8 of an ounce) dark red cherries are born in profusion on plants that reach about one meter (3 feet) tall and wide. Excellent for growing in pots. This variety is not like modern day cherries as it has a subtle sweetness with just the right touch of tang.
Dikovinka Midseason
Regular Leaf
This pink-black cherry does not taste like a typical black cherry. The best way to describe the taste of this cherry tomato would be to imagine crossing the Japanese hybrid cherry, Sungold, with a black cherry.The flavour is so very unique for this class of cherry tomato that you must try it! I received these seeds from Andrey Barnovski (Minsk, Belarus) who explained that they were a Russian CV (commercial variety).
