Tomatoes- Black or White?

[Llamas]

Debating on trying some fun toms. What are some prolific (OH is constantly scoffing) varities of either black or white toms to try? Thanks!!!

The best dark tomato that I've encountered; is Piglet Willie's French Black...taste wise.

It is scrummy.

I'm growing "White OX Heart" for the first time this year, so I can't comment on if there prolific or not, and "Black Cherry" which I've grown several times, they have clusters, of very juicy, sweet cherry sized tomato's, I'd recommend then to anyone. I haven't any seed left or I'd have sent you some.

I grew White Beauty which were so prolific they needed extra staking. They were of course, yellow. I also grew Black Cherry, which were dark red and we didn't like them. This year I am growing Moneymaker to see if they work.

Ginger Ninger - good luck with your White Oxheart. They all rotten on the vine before my very eyes when I grew it out a few years ago so I never got to taste it. Given that the British climate is much milder that Oz it should like it there and produce ripe fruits before rotting!

Llamas - I have grown out heaps of black and white tomatoes. The blacks typically have a sweet, smoky flavour, the whites are really mild but if you want to try something funky go for green-when-ripe (GWR) tomatoes. I have grown out quite a few, ranging from Green Cherry (my avatar) to Aunt Ruby's German Green (huge beefsteaks) with a range of others in between. The GWRs typically have a sweet, spicy flavour and are really yummy as far as I'm concerned!
