✨ Interesting Facts

Tomato Black Cat is an early-ripening variety, ready to harvest in 85-90 days. The fruits are well-attached to the peduncle and do not crumble even after full ripening. They can be stored in a dark and cool room for up to 2-3 weeks without loss of elasticity and taste. The variety is suitable for making juices, sauces, lecho, pasta, and can be canned and pickled.

🪴 Care and Handling

When forming a bush, two shoots should be left: the main and the side. This will help to achieve a larger harvest, and all the forces of the plant will be directed to the formation of new fruits.
