Cultivation method:
Black Plum Tomato prefers well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Due to its indeterminate nature, it will require regular training and pruning to optimize fruit production. It is recommended to sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost, then transplant after the risk of frost has passed. Plant spacing should be approximately 18-24 inches apart to allow for good air circulation and optimal growth.
Its smoky, sweet flavor makes it a perfect choice for sauces, pastas and dishes requiring a rich, concentrated texture.
Northern Wildflowers seeds provide a productive plant, ideal for homemade sauces and culinary preparations requiring a premium quality tomato.
