Tomato Black Opal
£5.75 – £43.13
Black Opal Tomato Seeds
A large cherry, described by the tasting panel at the RHS 2017 trial as having a “good, balanced flavour” but deemed too large to qualify for an AGM.
Bred from the popular heritage variety ‘Black Cherry’, ‘Black Opal’ has an improved growth habit, firmer texture and much better flavour. The large, complex trusses bear an impressively heavy crop.
Dark fruited tomatoes, while tasty eaten raw, are transformed by cooking and ‘Black Opal’ is outstanding in this respect.
