Distinctive Black Moon F1 has dark dark fruits that ripen with a deep red blush and soften slightly so a gentle squeeze test will divulge the perfect moment to pick. And that bicolour skin hints at the flavour complexity - sweet and tangy with just a hint of smokiness that makes them the first to be taken out of the salad bowl. This is a larger cherry – a two-bite cherry would be a good size description! And if all that wasn’t enough reason to grow Black Moon…it is BLIGHT RESISTANT too. Indeterminate
DID YOU KNOW that Tomato Black Moon F1 is a rare heritage variety (known as ‘Two Tasty’ in the USA) that has been carefully bred to preserve its unique characteristics, making it a sought-after choice for tomato enthusiasts, collectors and anyone who likes growing great flavours to eat.
SOW: about 6-8 weeks before the last frost is expected, into modules (cover or put on a windowsill), transplant to pots when large enough to handle and grow on until ready to harden off and plant after frost danger has passed.
GROW: in the greenhouse, in a patio pot, raised beds, or just in a sunny sheltered part of your garden. For the best flavour keep soil evenly damp (try not to over-water or overfeed). Black Moon F1 is indeterminate, growing tall and needing support, it will bloom, set & ripen fruit all at the same time throughout the season.
