| Positive | Caedi25 | On Apr 23, 2011, Caedi25 from Kirkland, WA (Zone 8b) wrote: Tried Black Sea Man on a tip from TexasTam last year and was thrilled with the results. Bought seed from Totally Tomatoes (also on a tip from Tam) and had a 100% germination rate. Produced big hearty plants which, in turn, produced a ton of big, luscious tomatoes - no disease, no blossom end rot. Downside - Totally Tomatoes was out of Blk Sea Man seed this year. Upside - going to take a shot at the parent, Black Krim. We'll see. |

The tomatoes are similar in size and texture to Black Krim, but on smaller plants that seem to do well in raised beds and border areas. The plants themselves yield a moderate amount of tomatoes. This year, which has been very mild and rainy, I have not gotten many tomatoes on my other plants, yet this particular variety seems to be thriving. Grew from seed started indoors under florescent lights with a 95% germination rate. |

The tomatos.....ah, the tomatos. Mine taste wonderful, and the texture is buttery and smooth. Unlike any tomato I have ever had before. It will always be in my veg garden! |
| Neutral | dorisv | On Jul 27, 2008, dorisv from Oakland, CA wrote: This is my first year growing this variety. It is a beautiful, vigorous plant with a lot of fruit set despite the fluctuating weather in my part of the Bay Area. The last fruit set is turning out with about 75% blossom end rot, but the first set is perfect. I am using a large planter box as I have no usable in ground area for vegetables. The first harvested Black Sea Man was just ok...a bit mealy. Hoping the others will be better. |

Avg flavor in my garden. |
| Neutral | berrygirl | On Mar 3, 2007, berrygirl from Braselton, GA (Zone 7b) wrote: Small plants with medium-sized deep brown fruits, rich flavor. Looks incredibly odd when blanched and peeled, revealing skeleton-like veins under the skin. Potato leaf, but determinate. 75 days from transplant. |
| Neutral | Big_Red | On Dec 25, 2004, Big_Red from Bethelridge, KY (Zone 6a) wrote: Not a true black, but very interesting tomato. Fruits are pinkish gray with olive green shading. Fat plumish shape and weigh 6-8 oz. Taste is bright, earthy, and spicy. You may get either potato or regular leaf. |
