Cordon/Indeterminate Variety. Heirloom from Russia. Exceptional great taste.

Black Prince Tomato is originally from Siberia, this is one of the most popular and favoured black tomatoes. Originally introduced from Irkutsk, Russia and is regarded as a "true Siberian tomato" that does very well in cooler climates.
The Black Prince tomato is said to have considerable health benefits beyond the presence of lycopene. Indeterminate.

 

Sow the black prince tomato seeds thinly into a seed tray or in small pots or cells, covered lightly, watered and placed at between 10-18 Celsius on a windowsill, heated greenhouse or propagator. Sow February - April.
Germination takes 8-11 days.

As soon as seedlings are large enough to handle, prick out. Transplant the seedlings into individual small pots, later on they might need to be repotted if growing quickly and large. Make sure the leaves do not overlap. Temperatures during this stage should be 12-20 Celsius.
 
Plant outside mid-May-June (when all risk of frost has passed in your area) 80x60 cm, or keep in the greenhouse, in a growbag or rich soil. Regular feeding recommended.

Support the developing stems with twine as they grow. Various training systems are used with tomatoes, but for all it is desirable to have the top metre of growth vertical. Side-shoot removal must be carried out from the start, restricting the plant to one main stem. Lower leaves should be removed as they start yellowing, which aids fruit ripening and improves air movement.
