BLACK ETHIOPIAN

Heirloom, Indeterminate 70-80 days
A wonderful, rare heirloom, variously reported as originating in Ukraine, Russia, or Hungary, despite being named Ethiopian. Nevertheless, the large, vigorous 4-5’ tall plants yield heavy crops mahogany-bronze, 5-oz., plum-shaped fruits with exceptional, rich flavor that’s both tangy and sweet. At our first annual Taste of Tomato, acclaimed local chef Bradford Heap chose Black Ethiopian as his top favorite.
