Black Pearl is a cherry tomato with near-black, indigo-tinted fruit, and it looks great climbing a cage. It grows as an indeterminate vine, so plan on a sturdy stake or cage (Solanum lycopersicum 'Black Pearl').
How to grow

A kind note on the variety: Black Pearl is usually sold as a hybrid, not an heirloom, so seeds saved from your plants will not come true. We are still confirming the exact variety with our supplier, so think of this as a cherry tomato with very dark fruit.
