Black Krim

Climate Suitability: Black Krim tomatoes thrive in the South African climate, particularly in regions with warm summers. They require full sun and well-drained soil to produce their best fruit.

Growing Conditions:

• Soil: Plant in fertile, well-drained soil with a pH between 6.0 and 6.8. Enrich the soil with organic compost to provide essential nutrients1.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply and regularly, especially during dry spells1.
• Sunlight: Ensure the plants receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily1.

Planting Tips:

• Spacing: Space seedlings about 60-90 cm apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation1.
• Support: Use stakes or cages to support the plants as they grow, preventing the heavy fruit from weighing down the stems1.
• Mulching: Apply mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Harvesting: Black Krim tomatoes are typically ready to harvest 70-90 days after transplanting. Look for fruits that are deep red with green shoulders and slightly soft to the touch. Harvest regularly to encourage continuous production1.

Flavor Profile: These tomatoes are celebrated for their complex, smoky flavor with a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. They are ideal for fresh eating, adding a gourmet touch to salads, sandwiches, and more
