Comments (1)Both Cherokee Purple and Black Krim have been known to have cracks near the stems. It isn't a problem unless the cracks open up and never dry out. Uneven watering and big temperature swings can also aggravate the cracking issues. Ted...See MoreYield on Prudence Purple, Cherokee Purple, Big Rainbow
Comments (6)I grew PP in 2009. It was a healthy plant and set quite a number of fruit. Needless to say, we were looking forward to them. Then -- bam! -- late blight came to town and we had to destroy every single tomato plant, including the luscious-looking (up to that point) PP. Obviously I can't comment on the taste because none of the fruits were close to mature. But it did have a good number of medium-to-large fruits and quite a few blossoms before it went to the great garden in the sky. :-) I keep meaning to try it again, but always get sidetracked by other varieties and PP gets forgotten. Hmmmm, it's not too late this year. Thanks for the reminder!...See MoreCherokee purple and Black Krim
Comments (13)I have never grown CP and this was the first year trying black krim. We really, really like them. The plants have grown out of the cage @ about 4' and have draped down to the ground breaking the stems (my fault, but won't happen next year). They just keep pumping out the tomatoes. They have a great flavor as well. The only thing I do not like is they come in all shapes and sizes...and my experience so far tells me to pick them early and let them ripen up on a table in the sunroom. If you let them vine ripen, they split and the birds / bugs tare them up! We have had an unusually wet summer her in SW Ohio....See Moreseysonn
