Unusual Tomatoes

Black Truffle - Sold Out
Loved this one. The deep burgundy color, with undertones of purplish-black, is as rich as the flavor. It's high in both sugars and acid, creating a sweet, strong, complex flavor that is hard to beat. Theses are 6-8 oz. pear-shaped fruits with green shoulders. Indeterminate. 75 days.

Chocolate Stripes - Sold Out
One of the most amazing tomatoes ever grown. For both color and taste, this variety excels. Fruit is deep reddish-brown inside; the outside is covered with beautiful orange and lime colored stripes. One of the most unique looking tomatoes, it is very sweet and yet has a full-rich flavor, and this is the reason this tomato places very high in taste tests. A favorite with the staff at Baker Creek. Fruit is medium to large and are of a slightly flattened globe shape. 79 days

Ananas Noir - Sold Out
The name of this tomato is French for black pineapple and that is because it arose out of a planting of Pineapple Tomato in a Belgian garden. While its fruit is the same 1 to 1 1/2 lb. size as the Pineapple tomato, the color and flavor are totally different. The exterior is dark purple and green with pink-red splotches and a touch of yellow, while the inside is bright green streaked with pink. The hues bleed into one another reminding one of a piece of tie-dyed fabric. Flavor is special too, sweet yet rich and delicious. Expect large plants and heavy yields. Indeterminate. 80 days.

Black Prince - Sold Out
We grew these last year and really liked them. They produce in clusters and are very tasty. Originally introduced from Irkutsk, Russia, it is regarded as a "true Siberian tomato" that does very well in cooler climates. It is so popular in Russia that there's a company in Volograd that is producing an extract of the Black Prince called "Black Prince Tomato Oil." These deep garnet, round, 2" tomatoes are full of juicy green flesh and rich fruity flavors. Perfect for eating fresh and cooking. Indeterminate, 75 days

Aunt Molly's Ground Cherry (Husk Tomatoes) - Sold Out
This is a fun "tomato." The flavor was sweet and fruity when allowed to ripen fully and they even came in their own carrying cases. Recorded as early as 1837 in Pennsylvania and still common at roadside stands in late summer. Fruits are 1/2 to 3/4" in diameter and are encased in a papery husk that turns brown. When the fruits are ripe, they usually fall off. It can be used for preserves and pies, over ice cream or in fresh fruit salads. Very prolific. Indeterminate, 70 days

They are delicious and sweet, somewhat fruity in flavor, and are meaty with very few seeds. Indeterminate. 85 days
