DWARF - Black Strawberry

Fantastic, sugar-sweet tomato flavor, that is fruity, with a hint of grape and plum flavors. If you relish the experience of digging into a bowl of high-quality cocktail tomatoes, then the Black Strawberry is your tomato. This 2-ounce fruit is marbled in purple, pink, green and gold. A bowl full resembles a luminous and luxurious bunch of gems, and indeed the flavor is decadent and indulgent, with perfectly balanced sweet and tart flavor!

This extremely productive and early variety is an obvious choice for gardeners and market farmers who want rugged, early-producing plants but do not want to sacrifice eating quality. This variety produces much diversity in color, and some plants may produce grape-shaped fruit. One of the best-tasting tomatoes we have tried!

Origin and history

‘Kumato’ is the result of a breeding programme, run by the Syngenta company. Syngenta crossed two separate tomato species to create an F1 hybrid: the Kumato. They did this so that ‘Kumato’ would have several desirable characteristics that were previously shared between both parents.
 

‘Kumato’ was patented in 2009, and is now commercially available across North America and Europe, sometimes under the name ‘Rosso Bruno’. Mini Kumato were developed some years, and are grown mainly in Spain and western Europe.
