Easy to grow and with a very dark skin this heirloom tomato is a great addition to the salad bowl.

It is a climber and it produces a good number of fruits which have a slight tartness which makes it ideal for salads.

It will need support with canes, try in a patio planters in a sheltered warm corner or greenhouse.

The fruit has a lovely flavour, tart but yet sweet.

Ideal for mixed tomato salads, try tossed in an olive oil dressing and garnished with croutons and fresh basil.

Sow in the Spring.
