Black Dragon

“Black Dragon” produces richly colored red-toned chocolate plums. In abundance! This was my most prolific tomato of the growing season. In my tasting notes, I described the flavor as “Rich, tangy, sweet and tomatoey. Delicious.” I bought the seeds from a US vendor, but read that this variety originally came here from the Irish Seed Savers Association. Interestingly, I could not find anything under the name “Black Dragon” on their website; however, they do list an identical variety as “Black Plum,” which they describe as “an heirloom variety from Russia.” I therefore wonder if this is a “rename for sales enhancement” situation. Since I do not have certainty of this, I will list this variety under the name of purchase, “Black Dragon.”
