Black Mamba
These are really stunning, and delicious. Beefsteak fruit with pronounced ribbing grow on vigorous indeterminate vines. They instantly demand attention, hanging proudly and glistening in the sun (they grow well outdoors), and they do not disappoint on flavour either. Big, full and rich dark tomato flavours, dark fruit and umami. From an initial cross discovered by Millard Murdock, involving Lucky Cross and an unknown tomato.
Indeterminate, regular leaf, vigorous.
Indeterminate plants are vigorous plants with a vining tendency. They set their fruits at intervals along their stems, and will readily grow side shoots and suckers (shoots from ground level). They need good, strong support, and it is advisable to remove the majority of the side shoots and suckers unless you have plenty of space and fertile soil to allow them to grow to their full potential. See the guide on pruning indeterminates in the resources section of the website for tips.
Sow Jan-April indoors
Height band G
