Tomato Seeds - Indeterminate - Black From Tula Beefsteak

Description

The Black from Tula Tomato is a rare Russian heirloom celebrated for its deep color, smoky richness, and robust, old-fashioned flavor. This indeterminate beefsteak variety matures in about 80–85 days, producing 8–12 oz fruits with dark brick-red to chocolate-brown skin and greenish shoulders that signal full ripeness.

Fruits are dense, juicy, and richly flavored, with a complex blend of sweetness and earthy umami. Many gardeners describe its taste as deeper and more balanced than most black tomato types—ideal for slicing, sandwiches, and gourmet salads. The flesh is velvety and thick, with few seeds and a satisfying, meaty texture.

Plants are vigorous and moderately tall (5–6 feet), yielding steadily through the season. They thrive in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil, with consistent watering to maintain even ripening and prevent cracking. While not a heavy producer, each fruit delivers exceptional quality and flavor concentration.

Originating near Tula, Russia, this variety is among the most richly flavored of the dark heirlooms. The Black from Tula Tomato remains a connoisseur’s choice—distinctive, beautifully colored, and unmatched in depth of taste.
