Why grow it

Worth the garden space.

Black Prince gives gardeners a dark tomato experience in fruit that is generally more manageable than a giant beefsteak. It is useful for fresh eating and cooking.

In the kitchen

Use fresh in salads and sandwiches, or roast for a darker, savory tomato sauce.

Clearwater growing notes

A good start matters.

Use strong support

Stake or cage the plant while it is young and easy to handle.

Keep leaves dry

Water the root zone when possible and leave space for airflow in humid weather.

Learn its ripe color

Dark tomatoes can look ready before they feel ready. Watch for deeper color and a slight softening.
