Black Cherry tomato - delicious taste but skin very thick

[bario1]

I generally prefer tomatoes a few days before they're fully ripe - Sungold are at their best when they are that yellowy orange IMO, once they get to their final deeper orange they're oversweet and a bit mushy.

My seeds said tomato "Black Cherry"(Organic)

do they look like Black Cherry to you?

Mine are rounder than that and look just like the ones in SusieG's photo on page 2 of this thread.

Just in case it's relevant, I bought mine from Premier Seeds Direct on ebay.

Not only are they the wrong shape they aren't the right colour either!
Black cherry is more a mix of mahogany/purple with a greenish tinge... I'm rubbish at describing anything!

I think they messed up nice looking tomatoes though! What do they taste like?

[Ms-T]

not much taste and are mushy.and the greenish tinge stays hard.

Ms-T, my Black Cherry are a sort of chocolatey brown colour and the size of a cherry tom, unlike the ones in your photo ............... think they must've got their seeds mixed up .....!

When did you buy them? I had a debate with Premier Seeds a couple of years ago when I bought some Brown Berry seeds from them and got ones that look just like the ones you've got. I assumed that either they'd mixed them up or crossed them with something else. Anyway, I don't buy from Premier Seeds any more.

I still grow them because I find they make a nice sauce but they're not very nice as salad tomatoes.

I got got them early this year .i sent a photo to Premier Seeds Direct.and am waiting for them to get back to me.

I bought mine from them on 3 February this year.

This is what I was expecting:

And this is a Black Cherry


Good luck with getting a reply, the one they sent me was "we've had no complaints from any of our other customers".
