This exceptional tomato was bred by Keith Mueller, the renowned breeder behind many modern heirlooms, by crossing Brandywine and Cherokee Purple—two legends of the tomato world. The result is a black bi-colored beefsteak that beautifully blends the best qualities of both parents.
Fruits average 6–10 ounces, displaying deep maroon tones swirled with gold and green, and the flavor is everything you’d expect from its heritage—rich, sweet, and complex, with that distinctive smoky-sweet depth of a true dark tomato. The plants are indeterminate and regular-leafed, producing heavily through the mid-season with notable disease and blight resistance.
A must-grow for anyone who loves the classic heirlooms but wants something new, reliable, and absolutely delicious.
