I chose this instead of Black Krim because all my research noted that this was a better choice. Black Krim is very unreliable in my area, Phx Az. Some have great results and others do not. This did very well for me, it was productive, very delicious and a really stunning tomato. It has all the complexity and depth expected from a good black tomato. the texture was lovely too. It is a little more heat-sensitive,( I am talking temps above 95 every day,) so it does need some shade when those temps get really high in the desert regions.
