Variety of unknown origin, featured in the 1997 Seed Savers Yearbook.

Purple-brown fruit with green shoulders, 180-300 grams. Round to slightly flattened at the poles and discreetly ribbed at the top, clusters of 4 to 5 fruits.

Fleshy and juicy beefy flesh with a very good smoky and rich flavour typical of "blacks".

Some grow determinate (Vent Marin) and others indeterminate (TatianaTomatoBase) (personally grown as a semi-determinate, bushy plant with very good and regular production).
