Paul Robeson Tomato

I am going to try a new (to me) hierloom tomato this year. It is the Paul Robeson.
Here are some facts and history about it.

Maturity: 65 Days
Growth Habit: indet.
Fruit Color: black
Fruit Type: Slicer

This famous tomato has almost a cult following among
seed collectors and tomato connoisseurs. They simply
cannot get enough of this variety’s amazing flavor that
is so distinctive, sweet and smokey. 7-10 oz. fruit are
a black-brick color. Named in honor of the famous opera
singer star of ‘King Solomon's Mines’, 1937. Paul Robeson
was also a Russian and Equal Rights Advocate for Blacks.
This Russian heirloom was lovingly named in his honor.
We are proud to offer such a wonderful variety.
