A highly productive paste tomato that produces beautiful plum-shaped fruits with mahogany skin and orange highlights.

What I find fascinating about Black Plum is its generous, meaty flesh and how well it holds its texture when making sauces. Its elongated fruits offer a mild flavor, with subtle acidity and a pleasant aromatic presence.

Originally from Russia, Black Plum is an indeterminate heirloom. Its plants are known for their high productivity and good resistance. Fruits mature in approximately 78 days.

Every variety has its own personality. The best tomato isn’t the one that everyone likes, but the one that finds its place in your garden, your kitchen, and your habits.
