Has anyone grown or tried the Heirloom variety called Black Krim???

and are they big and tasty??

I grew Black Krim this year and will definitely be growing it again next year. It produced reasonably well, medium sized round fruits with an orangey complexion and a green flush to half way down. But that is here, in a greenhouse, they may be different elsewhere but I do grow bigger tomatoes. Consistent is how I would describe them.

Tasty yes, acid no. They don't have a certain tang about them either, but there is something that is very pleasing to the palate. If you like to just slice up a tomato, sprinkle it with fresh ground black pepper, a little balsamic vinegar, it is perfect.

Thanks for the info, I will look forward to watching them grow and enjoy eating them,
I like to try growing different species, I think it makes growing more interesting.

I grew one two years ago and loved it. Lovely black tomatoes with great flavour. This year I sowed over a hundred seeds from that plant to sell seedlings at the markets. I got two plants out of them that came up with potato leaves so I am growing them out to see what gives. Also have Black from Tula which has some lovely fruit on at the moment.
